Details
Contest participants can win a grant of up to 100,000 hryvnias to implement their ideas, receive comprehensive business planning training, and start or expand their own business.
For 10 years, the "MHP-Hromadi" Foundation has been involved in the development and restoration of communities. Our flagship project "Do Your Own" serves to ensure that people in communities develop, start their own businesses, or develop existing ones
To participate in the competition, an entrepreneur must fill out an application form on the website and complete an educational course. The winners of this year's "Do Your Own" season will be announced on May 27.
We want to support 80 projects, which can be for both newly created businesses and for scaling existing ones. And we will also pay special attention to veteran businesses in order to support even more veterans this year
The grant program has been running for the fourth year in a row, but this year for the first time, it is mandatory to complete the educational course "Entrepreneur's Path", which was created by experts from the MHP-Hromadi Charitable Foundation, its strategic partner MHP, together with the State Employment Service of Ukraine. This makes it possible not only to receive funds for your own business, but also to become more professional in terms of running a business.
This is a very interesting course, filled with useful knowledge of marketing, analytics: how to develop your own brand, and how to make your business more efficient and needed by your community
