Donations to the National Research Foundation of Ukraine are gratefully accepted to allow it to renew grant support for projects of research and development which had been suspended due to the armed aggression of the russian federation started in February 2022; for grant support in other areas based on the results of new calls; and for other modest but essential NRFU capacity-building tasks.

In early March 2022, 100% of the 2022 granting budget allocated to the National Research Foundation of Ukraine was redirected to cover the defense needs. Thus, none of the competitively selected research projects in that year could be financed and implemented. For 2023, the allocated budget provides 60.5% of the total sum necessary to finance the selected projects and the projects of the new and suspended calls.

To compensate for these state budget reductions, NRFU has launched a systematic fundraising strategy as described in this document. Your donations are an essential component of this strategy. Every contribution, no matter how small or large, will enable NRFU to continue to deliver direct support to meritorious scientists working in Ukraine, to continue its work to establish world-class competitive research grantmaking in Ukraine’s research system, and to integrate Ukraine into the global research community.
