Culture Helps Solidarity<\/strong> supports arts and culture professionals from Ukraine to sustain creativity, resilience, and community connection during and after the war. Running until 2028, the project combines three grant schemes – individual grants, thematic project grants, and collaboration grants – with a rich programme of mentoring, learning, and peer exchange. <\/span>The project is co-funded through<\/span> the Creative Europe programme and implemented<\/span> by the <\/span>European Cultural Foundation<\/b> (Amsterdam), an independent foundation fostering European belonging through culture; together with <\/span>Insha Osvita <\/b>(Kyiv), a Ukrainian NGO and professional learning community developing educational and cultural programmes; <\/span>zusa<\/b> (Berlin), an international NGO fostering collaboration and collective learning for social and cultural change; and the <\/span>VETERANKA Movement<\/b> (Kyiv), Ukraine’s leading community of women veterans advocating for women’s rights, leadership, and reintegration.<\/span>
\n<\/span>
\n<\/span>The Individual Grants provide direct, flexible support to cultural professionals in and from Ukraine who are working – often voluntarily – with displaced people and refugees, veterans and vulnerable communities, in Ukraine or in any of the Creative Europe (CE) countries <\/span>(which include the 27 <\/span>EU member-states<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>more countries participating in Creative Europe<\/span><\/a>).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These personal care grants are designed to offer quick and accessible assistance for strengthening the personal wellbeing, resilience and mental health of cultural professionals and creatives, enabling them to continue their crucial cultural, community-based work in extremely challenging circumstances. <\/span>These grants are not designed to cover costs related to project delivery or implementation.<\/span><\/p>\n

This<\/span> is the <\/span>fifth<\/span> call in the series of rolling application rounds, opening approximately every six weeks. Across the 2026-2028 project period, we anticipate 10\u201314 such cycles. In each cycle, approximately 7 to 10 grants of up to EUR 1,200 will be disbursed. <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
