Livelihood Grant Program 2026

Livelihood is the means by which individuals and communities secure their daily needs and well-being. It encompasses a wide range of activities, resources, and assets, and can vary greatly depending on context. Accessible livelihoods are essential for economic growth, social development, and overall quality of life.

About the project

Agathe Consulting Services serves entrepreneurs at all stages of the development of their enterprises with a special emphasis on those in the early stages of startup and pre-revenue.  Often access to capital is limited at these stages and access to even modest grants can make the difference in an enterprise’s ability to progress from stage to stage.

The need is especially acute in the Ukrainian context where the Kyiv region is facing significant economic and social challenges because of the war and ongoing instability.  As people from the most affected areas seek security and a fresh start in the Kyiv region, Agathe Consulting Services is seeking to serve these “internally displaced people” who want to pursue entrepreneurial activities.

The Livelihood Grant Project is intended to be part of an integrated support system for the launch and ongoing development of small and medium-sized businesses by internally displaced entrepreneurs looking to restart and launch enterprises.

The goal is to ensure that through the combination of practical training, digital transformation, spiritual and psychological support, and grant assistance, entrepreneurs have the greatest possibility of “triple bottom line” enterprise success.

Eligibility for participation in the Project “Livelihood Grant Program–2026” is open to the internally displaced persons (IDPs) residing in the city of Kyiv and the Kyiv Region who meet the following requirements:

  • have a business idea, business project, or a clear vision for their entrepreneurial activity;
  • commits to an impact-oriented approach, with the enterprise aimed at generating a “triple bottom line” – financial sustainability, positive social impact, and space for spiritual transformation.
  • be engaged with Agathe Consulting Services coaching and mentoring;
  • have developed a solid business case and documented it in the form of a complete and well-researched impact enterprise business plan.
