The Women’s Opportunities in Ukraine Charity Foundation is offering mini-grants of 50,000 hryvnias to women entrepreneurs – craft producers – across Ukraine to collaborate and implement their ideas for winter holidays, aiming to strengthen partnerships among small craft producers from diverse industries such as food, beverages, cosmetics, textiles, decor, accessories, and jewelry.
Focus areas include creating joint gift sets and collections from local manufacturers with soul, history, and warmth, developing branded packaging, identity, or promotional materials, and launching joint marketing campaigns to promote Ukrainian craft as an integral part of the economy and culture; craft products for Christmas, Hanukkah, St. Nicholas Day, New Year, and other traditional holidays are welcomed, reflecting the national and cultural diversity of Ukraine.
This mini-grant competition calls on women entrepreneurs registered as individual entrepreneurs and operating in Ukraine, owners of microbusinesses or workshops in craft production fields, at least two crafters collaborating to create a joint product, and participants ready to present the concept of a holiday gift set or collection. Despite today’s challenges, this initiative fosters creative synergy and sisterhood among Ukrainian women crafters, emphasizing unity and support.
The grant encourages participation from brands across Ukraine to prepare for the festive season by sharing warmth and culture through unique craft collaborations. The competition serves as a platform for women entrepreneurs to showcase their creativity, enrich local culture, and promote economic growth by combining craftsmanship with cultural heritage.
