Vlasna Sprava for young people aged 18-25: microgrant of up to UAH 150,000

The Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture of Ukraine, together with the State Employment Service, is running a targeted youth track under the government microgrant programme Vlasna Sprava. The initiative provides financial support to young Ukrainians wishing to launch or establish their own commercial ventures.

Selected applicants can receive a microgrant of up to UAH 150,000 to cover primary business launch costs. Applications are reviewed on an ongoing basis in recurring waves, meaning there is no single fixed deadline specified in the call.

What is funded

The grant funds commercial initiatives aimed at starting a business from the ground up. Financial assistance is allocated to cover essential operational and launch expenditures needed to begin business activities.

The maximum grant amount under this track is capped at UAH 150,000. Beneficiaries must allocate the awarded funds toward the implementation of their proposed business plans in accordance with the programme guidelines.

Who can apply

Eligibility is strictly defined by age and target profile. The call is open to individuals aged between 18 and 25 years who are planning to launch their own venture, as well as young entrepreneurs and early-stage start-ups within Ukraine.

Applicants can submit proposals as private individuals taking their first steps in entrepreneurship, or as registered business entities that meet the programme criteria. The donor does not specify any industry restrictions in the announcement extract.

Conditions and requirements

Applicants must present a viable business project designed to establish a new enterprise. The administration and compliance verification of all submitted plans are handled by the State Employment Service of Ukraine.

Practical tip. Ensure your business plan contains clear, realistic cost calculations up to UAH 150,000, as administrative bodies thoroughly review budget feasibility before approving funds for young entrepreneurs.

How to apply

Applications must be prepared and lodged digitally via the state Diia portal. Candidates need to fill out the standard electronic application form and attach their business plan directly within the service.

Intake proceeds on a rolling basis across multiple competitive selection waves. After submission, applications are assessed by the designated state bodies, and successful candidates are notified according to the wave schedule.

Applications are submitted on the donor’s page: me.gov.ua.
