A grant manager

is the one who seeks ways to finance media, writes project proposals, reports to donors, helps in project implementation, and understands communications.
And usually, this person is the CEO/chief editor/director of the media organization. Tired, a bit (or not a bit) burnt out, exhausted, nervous. You want to delegate the responsibilities of a grant manager...

But to whom?

Why we are doing this

The problem addressed by this course lies in the significant shortage of qualified grant managers in Ukraine. In the context of a constantly increasing volume of international aid and investments, especially in the country's recovery after the war, the need for effective managers capable of handling these resources is critically important.
Grant managers play a key role in the collaboration between government, businesses, and the civil sector with international organizations, as they are the first line of control ensuring that financial and other resources coming into the country are used efficiently and purposefully.
Qualified grant managers can help establish and maintain sustainable and continuous cooperation between Ukrainian organizations and international partners.
