Rapid Response Grants – Act Now

Objectives: The Act Now / Rapid Response Grants Program, initiated by the USAID Civil Society Engagement Program, seeks to support Georgian civil society organizations, civic movements, and citizen groups in addressing the challenges posed by the war in Ukraine and its effects on Georgia. The objectives of this grant are to facilitate community organizing for providing support to Ukrainians in Georgia, raising funds for Ukraine’s relief services, and promoting intra- and inter-sectoral cooperation to amplify support and mobilization efforts. The program also aims to address issues such as malign influence by foreign groups, deepen awareness and advocacy on pertinent policy issues, and foster public communication regarding support efforts related to the Ukraine war.
