The Coordinating Committee reviewed the results of the Presidential Grants competition, the applications for which were submitted in the autumn of 2024. Overall, 9,883 public initiatives were submitted from all 89 regions, of which 1,497 socially-oriented NPOs became winners based on the results of an independent expert review. The Presidential Grants Foundation will allocate 4.7 billion rubles for the implementation of their projects.
The Coordinating Committee has also approved the distribution of another 2.2 billion rubles among 84 regions that applied for co-financing of their allocations to socially-oriented NPOs.
The executive bodies of these regions or their authorised regional operators will distribute their own funds (3.8 billion rubles) and the co-financing they receive on the basis of open and transparent tenders.
Projects for the next Presidential Grants competition will be accepted from February 3 to March 17, 2025.
