New Mini-Grant Competition: Collaboration between Ukrainian Craftswomen

The Women’s Opportunity Fund of Ukraine has launched a new mini-grant competition offering $1,200 to women entrepreneurs producing handmade and craft goods. The program encourages collaboration among small businesses to create joint holiday gift sets and collections that showcase Ukrainian craftsmanship and culture.

Eligible participants include women entrepreneurs and microbusiness owners working in crafts such as food, décor, textiles, cosmetics, or jewelry. Each team of at least two craftswomen will develop shared products, branded packaging, or marketing materials ahead of the winter holidays.

“We invite brands from all over Ukraine to join this competition,” said Vlada Nedak, CEO & founder of WOF-UA. “Despite today’s challenges, we’re preparing to share the warmth of the holidays together — in the spirit of sisterhood, unity, and creative synergy.”
