The CUF-UCC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal – Displaced Ukrainians Appeal has been in operation for over three years, having disbursed approximately $2.9 million to dozens of projects across Canada in support of Ukrainians displaced by Russia’s war in Ukraine and currently sheltering in Canada.
In the initial phase of operations, supported projects primarily addressed acute, immediate needs, particularly food and housing. As arrival rates of displaced Ukrainians stabilized, demand – and corresponding funding allocations – shifted toward psychosocial and integration supports, including, among other things, trauma counselling and mental health services, economic integration and employment assistance, health care gap coverage, official language training programs.
With new donations to the Appeal tapering, the CUF-UCC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal has determined that it will conclude its activities through the support of one final “legacy” project grant: the Displaced Ukrainians Legacy Fund.
This RFP invites qualified organizations in Canada to submit proposals for a single, high-impact legacy project that will advance the Fund’s core humanitarian objectives and deliver enduring benefits to displaced Ukrainians in Canada beyond the lifespan of the Appeal itself.
- Total funding available (1 grant): $250,000 CAD
