ACCLERATOR

Accelerator is a two-month support program for new grassroots projects, as well as established teams and organizations. During the course of the accelerator, participants acquire specific skills related to its main theme (e.g., organizing public events, general management skills, fundraising, etc.), while being provided with all the resources they may need and getting constant feedback from mentors.

Since the beginning of Putin's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, more than 150 projects have participated in our accelerators.

FELLOWSHIPS

Fellowship is a three-month program offering targeted support for activists who develop their own projects. Financial aid, ranging from $800 to $1000 per month, helps sustain the project. Additionally, the Foundation provides networking opportunities, resources, and access to educational programs.

Participation in the fellowship program implies that an end product is produced, such as an educational podcast, a social or political campaign, or a humanitarian initiative—all aimed at fostering the development of civil society, combating the Putin regime, and addressing the impacts of war.

SHORT-TERM COURSES

Standalone schools or courses aimed at a narrow group, lasting one to three months (e.g., the School of Journalism in Tbilisi).
