What is the UASEEDs Seal of Excellence?
Seeds of Bravery (UASEEDs) is an EU-funded programme supporting Ukrainian tech innovators through the European Innovation Council. Its mission is to identify and accelerate organisations and products that contribute to building a resilient civic and technological ecosystem in Ukraine.
The Seal of Excellence operates on two levels. The Bronze status is awarded to participants who meet the initial programme criteria. The Golden Status is the highest distinction, reserved exclusively for beneficiaries who have successfully completed the full UASEEDs programme cycle. It is not a participation certificate — it is recognition of demonstrated results.
For GetGrant, this certificate represents official validation from EU partners that our platform is not merely a concept — it is a working product with measurable impact on how organisations in Ukraine access grant funding.
GetGrant’s journey through UASEEDs
GetGrant joined Seeds of Bravery as a team focused on improving access to grant funding for civil society and innovation actors in Ukraine. Throughout the programme, we went through mentorship sessions, product evaluations, and impact assessments — all designed to verify whether our approach genuinely addresses a real need.
We built GetGrant with a single focus: helping NGOs, startups, and initiatives spend less time searching for grants and more time doing their actual work. The UASEEDs programme gave us the opportunity to benchmark that approach against international standards and confirm we are on the right track.
What this means for GetGrant users
A verified tool
GetGrant has been independently assessed by partners of the European Innovation Council and received formal recognition of quality and potential. This is external, independent verification — not a marketing claim.
Part of the European innovation ecosystem
Seeds of Bravery brings together the most promising Ukrainian innovators and connects them with EU partners. GetGrant is among those who completed this journey in full.
We keep building
The Golden Status is not a finish line. It is confirmation that we are moving in the right direction. Our next steps include expanding the grant database, improving AI-matching, and building new tools for grant managers across Ukraine and beyond.
How to use a Seal of Excellence in your own work
Seeds of Bravery also encourages its beneficiaries to actively communicate this distinction. And we want to share that same approach with our users. If your organisation or startup has completed a recognised programme, make it visible. As a result, such certifications:
| Build trust with donors and institutional partners |
| Serve as credibility signals when submitting grant applications |
| Expand your network through the programme’s partner ecosystem |
