Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Chernyshenko and Rosmolodezh Director Grigory Gurov announced the launch of a grant competition among non-profit organizations to implement projects to preserve historical memory and promote civic education among young people. Applications for the Rosmolodezh.Grants competition among NGOs are accepted from March 4 through April 2. on the website.
"Thanks to the inclusion of the Rosmolodezh.Grants competition in the national project 'Youth and Children,' the maximum grant amount has increased since last year. Non-profit organizations can apply for up to 2.5 million rubles, which is one million rubles more than in 2024. The total grant support in 2026 will be 70 million rubles. This will allow us to scale up projects promoting our spiritual and moral values, popularizing sports, safety, and much more," said Dmitry Chernyshenko.
Non-profit organizations, including youth and children's public associations (excluding state-owned institutions), registered no later than one year before the competition are eligible to participate in the competition.
Applications can be submitted in five categories:
"This year, non-profit organizations can receive grant support for implementing social initiatives in various areas of youth civic education—from raising interest in drone development and training to fostering anti-terrorism awareness. Key projects remain those preserving historical and cultural heritage, creating museum exhibits and archives, and assisting veterans. In 2025, 70 initiatives received support, ranging from 285,000 to 2,341,000 rubles. In the new season, we expect even more interesting and useful projects to receive grants and assistance in scaling up their ideas," noted Grigory Gurov, head of Rosmolodezh.
Last year's winners included the "Defenders of the Sky" educational intensive program from the Sevastopol regional public organization "League of Social Workers," which received 2,118,000 rubles in support. The project included an online course and a series of in-person engineering intensives, where schoolchildren and students learned 3D modeling, UAV assembly, and piloting, and also participated in a team drone racing competition.
Another project is the youth patriotic marathon "Challenge – Sport 2.0" run by the Workout Federation of the Karachay-Cherkess Republic. With support from 1,672,000 rubles, it combined sports festivals, educational sessions, and mentoring programs on social projects for young athletes. The project's events became a platform for interethnic communication and youth engagement in social initiatives through mass sports.
