In response to the security challenges and humanitarian crisis caused by Russia’s war against Ukraine, the German Marshall Fund of the United States and its Ukraine: Relief, Resilience, Recovery program is launching a new call for project proposals for civil society organizations and independent media from Ukraine.

- Access to mental health services and healing activities for staff and volunteers;
- Legal assistance for those going through abusive situations, including human trafficking and bribery, among others.
- Institutional support to cover the salaries of the core team, rental costs for the office (temporary relocation or permanent office), utilities, and communication;
- Emergency preparation through trainings on data security, first aid, and survival in war/conflict zones;
- Capacity-building and equipment that can help to avert digital and physical assaults on Ukraine-based and exiled civil society and media organizations.
