As a result of Russia's unprovoked full-scale invasion of Ukraine, IZOLYATSIA is shifting all of its organizational efforts towards our country's resistance against the aggressor and supporting Ukrainians through these tragic times.

Assistance was provided for cultural workers, both in Ukraine and abroad.

One-time assistance was distributed among those who urgently needed financial support in the following categories:

  • For emergency professional needs;

  • Personal support, including moving;

  • For humanitarian assistance to the Applicant (and maintenance of his family members), for example, purchase of equipment and materials: food, housing, health care, water, sanitation and hygiene, infrastructure, and transport, except for operations with weapons and military equipment, etc.

In order to receive financial assistance, it was necessary to submit a request through the platform by the link. The request form is as simple as possible and describes what you plan to spend the money received, the required amount, and what caused this need.

Applications are accepted on a weekly basis until the financial resource is exhausted.  Priority was given to those applications in which the satisfaction of the request was necessary in an extremely short time, with the designation of ASAP and justification of the needs.

When supporting the request, the Applicants received a notification about the conclusion of the contract with details for a non-refundable charitable grant agreement.

After receiving and using this funding, Applicants provided a brief narrative report on how the funds were used (via the application platform). Financial reporting was not required.
