As of late June 2026, several grant calls with confirmed deadlines remain open to Ukrainian communities. A community can receive some of this money directly, through its local authority or a municipal utility. It receives the rest through a civil society organisation that works for the community or applies together with it.
Below you will find the programmes that accept applications right now. For each one, we list the donor, who can apply, the amount, and the deadline with a direct link to the call page. Because this roundup covers live calls only, closed competitions stay out.
The data is current as of 29 June 2026. Since deadlines shift, always check the call page before you apply.

Grants from UNDP and global environmental funds
The UN Development Programme (UNDP) remains the largest source of grants for communities. So two calls are open right now, where the recipient is a civil society organisation working at the community level.
Integrity, transparency, and information resilience – UNDP
Who can apply
Non-profit and charitable organisations registered in Ukraine. Specifically, the grant supports initiatives that strengthen integrity, transparency, and information resilience for recovery, including at the local level: corruption prevention, integrity systems, and public oversight.
Deadline
10 July 2026 (Lots 1–4)

GEF SGP CSO Challenge – scaling environmental solutions
Who can apply
Civil society organisations with proven environmental solutions. Because the first round opens to CSOs based in Eastern Europe, the Caucasus, and Central Asia, Ukrainian organisations qualify. The money funds scaling or replicating an existing solution more widely.
Amount and deadline
Up to USD 300,000 per project. Deadline: 20 July 2026.

Bilateral donors and state programmes
In this group the money comes from individual governments or through international agencies. One call targets public bodies and critical infrastructure, while the other strengthens the organisations themselves.
Cybersecurity Improvement Grants (CySIG) – CRDF Global and the US State Department
Who can apply
Public authorities and state-owned enterprises classified as critical infrastructure. So municipal utilities in energy, water, and other critical services qualify too. The grant covers stronger cyber defences.
Deadline
10 July 2026
Call page: crdfglobal.org →
CSO organisational development – ISAR Ednannia (funded by Norway and Sweden)
Who can apply
Civil society and charitable organisations, including those that work in communities. First, the organisation runs a development assessment, then it builds a plan and receives a grant to pay for organisational development services.
Deadline
The selection committee meets monthly. So the nearest intake runs until 8 July 2026.

Civil society and youth
These programmes work through active organisations and youth teams in communities. So they support the resilience of organisations under pressure and local social initiatives.
CIVICUS Crisis Response Fund (CRF) – support for CSOs under pressure
Who can apply
Formal and informal civil society organisations, groups, and movements that face new restrictions on their work. So the fund provides money for resilience and advocacy, roughly up to USD 10,000 for a single organisation.
Deadline
Applications accepted on an ongoing basis
Call page: civicus.org →
Social Shifters Global Innovation Challenge – youth social projects
Who can apply
Young people aged 18 to 30 across Ukraine who run social projects and startups at the community level. So the call is open to teams with local change ideas.
Amount and deadline
Up to USD 15,000. Deadline: 31 August 2026.

EU instruments for communities: where we are now
Interreg cross-border programmes give communities in border regions multi-million budgets for environment, healthcare, tourism, and security. Right now these programmes sit between cycles. The second Interreg NEXT Hungary–Slovakia–Romania–Ukraine call closed its intake in February 2026, while the new Poland–Ukraine Small Project Fund is still preparing to launch during 2026.
Interreg Europe works separately. Since July 2024 Ukraine has been a full member, so communities from across government-controlled territory can take part. New project calls will open later in the current cycle, and the Policy Learning Platform already gives communities expert reviews and partner matching.
Use the gap between calls to prepare. A community that already has a partner across the border and a project draft applies faster once the intake opens. The European Commission keeps the current list of open opportunities for Ukrainian partners: Interreg opportunities for Ukraine. The Ukraine profile, with programme contacts, a project list, and the review service, sits on the Interreg Europe page.

What to do this week
The nearest deadline in this roundup is 8 July. So if your organisation works on organisational development, start with the ISAR Ednannia call. Two programmes close on 10 July: the UNDP integrity and transparency grant and CySIG for communities with critical infrastructure. Teams with a ready environmental solution should look at GEF SGP by 20 July.
Before you apply, check two points for each programme: the deadline is still open, and your community or organisation fits the eligibility rules. Communities raise the rest of their funding through recovery programmes, development banks, and line ministries, so keep a database of calls close at hand.
