The U.S. Embassy Kyiv’s Public Affairs Section is offering a grant to U.S. non-profit/non-governmental organizations for media support and exchange programs in Ukraine. This initiative aims to foster long-term partnerships between American and Ukrainian media outlets, promoting professional development and financial viability for independent Ukrainian media. The grant seeks to facilitate interactions and practical training for Ukrainian print, online, and broadcast professionals with U.S. counterparts. Recognizing the critical role of independent media in democratic development, the program intends to establish four annual partnerships, emphasizing geographic diversity across Ukraine. Proposals should detail at least three appropriate matches between U.S. and regional Ukrainian media outlets, demonstrating how these partnerships will be sustained. Approximately $400,000 is available for one award.
