Typed facts extracted from the source documents by Scindu's grant-data review. Each value keeps its own conditions. Unknown means unstated, not zero or unlimited.

Applicant type

Applicants may be Ukrainian legal entities or individual entrepreneurs (FOPs) registered at least one year before the call announcement and active in culture.

Other condition

The live organizer page extends the deadline to 1 November 2026, 18:00; the downloaded guideline PDF calendar gives an earlier 19 October deadline, so treat the page as the later current amendment and preserve the conflict.

Other condition

For fixed-term project employees, the budget is calculated in months using official salary rates from the grantee organization’s staffing table plus compensation under its collective agreement and internal rules; the template sets no numeric monthly salary or FTE.

Other condition

The combined grant expenditure for project-team remuneration and non-team royalties/fees, including social contributions, may not exceed 50% of grant-funded expenditure. A listed project team member’s involvement across one or more Foundation-supported projects may not exceed 100%, and remuneration may not exceed UAH 50,000 per person per month.

The 100% workload and UAH 50,000/month caps apply to each listed person across one or more Foundation-supported projects, rather than only this call. A separate cap of UAH 50,000/month applies to services/remuneration under civil-law or FOP contracts and includes additional expenses such as travel/accommodation; not yet represented as a distinct rate row.

Staff restriction

Applicant permanent staff may be budgeted under the relevant line only as a bonus for additional workload, calculated under the applicant’s staffing table and internal bonus rules.

Indicative budget

€350,000

Topic budget as stated in the portal's budget table. Lump-sum and per-project limits are in the call conditions.

Cost item funding, maximum

UAH 50,000

Civil-law contract remuneration for a project-team member: maximum UAH 50,000 per person per month, including additional service-delivery expenses; market-rate requirement, no internal staff with the required skills, monthly calculation, and no duplicate remuneration plus separate services.

Cost item funding, maximum

UAH 50,000

Individual entrepreneur (FOP) service/work remuneration for a project-team member: maximum UAH 50,000 per person per month, including additional expenses; market-rate and months-engaged basis; only if internal staff lack the required skills and the services can effectively be supplied by an entrepreneur; no double budgeting.

Eligible cost

The budget form provides project-team budget lines for existing applicant staff workload bonuses only; fixed-term employees engaged for the project; non-payroll individuals under civil-law contracts when the grantee lacks internal staff with the necessary skills; and individual entrepreneurs only when internal staff lack the required skills and the service can be provided by an entrepreneur. Civil-law and entrepreneur contract remuneration must reflect market rates, be calculated by months, and cannot be double-budgeted with other services from the same person. These are budget-form categories, not evidence that specific named jobs will be hired or granted funding.

Eligible cost

The budget workbook has a separate social-contributions line on payroll, with a standard 22% calculation factor or another rate where applicable law prescribes it; 22% is not an unconditional cap or universal rate.

Eligible cost

Project budget may include remuneration and social contributions for project team members, and travel for applicant permanent staff.

Ineligible cost

Subgrants and prize awards are prohibited.

Rates and allowances

An allowance, cap or unit contribution is not a guaranteed salary.
