Applications are now open for socially oriented non-profit organizations (NPOs) to participate in the seventh grant competition "Moscow – a Kind City". It will last until the end of September. This was reported by Alexandra Alexandrova, First Deputy Head of the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of the City of Moscow.
"Non-profit organizations are reliable partners of the city in caring for Muscovites who need special attention. NPOs complement the large-scale system of state aid with individual solutions and unique services. One of the key partners of the capital in the development of charity is the "Moscow – a Kind City" program: in seven years, it has become an important part of the ecosystem of support for the NPO sector in Moscow. At the same time, financial assistance remains one of the most stable and popular forms of support for non-profit organizations. Therefore, for the seventh time, we are holding a grant competition with a total fund of 400 million rubles. Applications have already begun and will continue until September 30," noted Alexandra Alexandrova.
This year, participants will be offered a choice of six main areas for submitting applications. Among them are initiatives to support adults and children with special needs, families and adolescents in difficult life situations, participants in a special military operation and their family members, promotion of social volunteering, prevention of socially dangerous diseases. Particular attention will be paid to projects on social employment, supported living, as well as probation and mentoring.
Grants will traditionally be divided into three groups: small (up to one million rubles), medium (from one to five million rubles) and large (from five to 10 million rubles). Both young NGOs and experienced players in the non-profit sector will be able to apply for them.
"This year, even more young organizations will compete for the grant. We have specially lowered the entry threshold for them – now NGOs with at least six months of experience can apply. Previously, only organizations that had been operating for at least a year had this opportunity. NGOs created by SVO participants can apply regardless of their registration date. We have removed all restrictions for them and are confident that the leaders of such NGOs know firsthand the needs of this category and will be able to develop effective solutions – how to properly provide assistance to people who have returned from the SVO zone and are integrating into civil life. They can also develop patriotic projects, because their contribution to the formation of true values is fundamentally important for the city," added Alexandra Alexandrova.
Moscow helps organizations effectively use the financial support mechanism. For those who want to increase their chances of winning, there is a grant school "Moscow – a kind city" – one of the largest and most popular free educational platforms in the capital in this area. Organizations learn to write applications for the competition and receive a tool for creating and implementing their initiatives. The training allows both young and experienced NPO teams to formulate their programs as accurately as possible to meet the social needs of Muscovites and build an effective strategy for partnership with the city.
The course consists of several educational modules in face-to-face and online formats. The schedule of classes is as follows: linkThe school is open until September 11th.
The grant competition organizers have taken care of comprehensive support for the participants. Thus, a 24-hour hotline has been launched by phone: 7 495 197-99-99. More information about the terms of participation can be found at official website, and also in telegram channel.
