The British Embassy in Kyiv invites non-profit organisations to submit project proposals under the Enabling Fund (EF) for the period from May 2025 to March 2026.
The EF aims to support small-scale, quick-impact projects that complement the UK's larger programmes in Ukraine. Particular attention is paid to projects that provide unique British expertise in areas of priority for Ukraine, promote reforms and deepen the relationship within the framework of the 100 Year Partnership.
Main project areas:
Supporting the 100-year Partnership:
- Developing democratic institutions, promoting reforms to meet EU, IMF and NATO standards.
- Support for innovative educational, scientific and research programmes in partnership with UK institutions.
- Development of digital tools to harmonise community recovery plans with regional and national strategies.
Support for vulnerable groups:
- Promoting accessibility in Ukraine, protecting the rights of people with disabilities and LGBT communities.
- Protection of human rights in the temporarily occupied territories, reintegration of the de-occupied territories and children returned from the Russian Federation or the TOT.
Funding:
The minimum grant amount is £75,000 and the maximum is £100,000. Co-funding will be an advantage.

Project evaluation:
Projects will be evaluated on the basis of relevance to programme objectives, quality, value for money, previous experience of the organisation, gender-sensitive approach, and compliance with the Paris Agreement on Climate Change.
