Opportunity Information: Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY23 04
The Democracy Commission, Ukraine opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number PAS UKRAINE FY23 04) is a discretionary grant program run by the U.S. Embassy Kyiv Public Affairs Section (PAS) under the U.S. Department of State. It is offered through PAS's Democracy Small Grants Program and is presented as an Annual Program Statement, meaning it lays out the embassy's funding priorities and themes for the year and explains how organizations should submit proposals. The overall purpose is to fund practical projects that strengthen civil society and public participation in Ukraine, reinforce open and competitive political and economic systems, and protect human rights during wartime conditions and recovery.
The program is looking for initiatives that respond to urgent, real-world needs created or intensified by the ongoing war and its aftermath. Priority areas include defending and protecting human rights, with specific attention to veterans' rights, the rights and needs of families of fallen Ukrainian soldiers, survivors of Russian captivity, internally displaced persons (IDPs), people with disabilities, and other vulnerable groups. Another major focus is supporting efforts tied to revitalization and reconstruction in previously liberated areas, including helping communities rebuild civic life and regain access to services and support structures that enable participation and local recovery.
A key theme is building up the capacity of civil society itself, particularly by empowering newly established non-governmental organizations and expanding public engagement, including support for NGO operations and civic initiatives in liberated regions. The program also prioritizes government transparency and anti-corruption efforts, especially at the regional level, where oversight and accountability mechanisms can be weaker and where local spending and reconstruction decisions can be vulnerable to misuse. In addition, PAS is interested in public awareness initiatives that help Ukrainians understand and manage risks linked to the war, such as demining education and other safety or resilience-related civic information campaigns.
Another emphasized objective is fostering civic education, engagement, and activism, particularly among youth, reflecting a longer-term investment in democratic culture and community leadership even amid conflict. In practice, competitive proposals are likely to show clear community benefit, credible implementation plans, and measurable outcomes tied to these themes, such as rights-protection mechanisms, advocacy support, community education, watchdog activities, or practical civic engagement models that can function in high-pressure environments.
Eligibility is limited to Ukrainian non-governmental organizations that are registered in accordance with Ukrainian law and that have relevant programming experience. The award instrument is a grant, with an award ceiling of up to $250,000. The opportunity is listed under CFDA 19.900 and is administered by the U.S. Mission to Ukraine. The posting indicates a creation date of June 1, 2023, and an original closing date of August 1, 2023.Apply for PAS UKRAINE FY23 04
