Abstract

The article examines the main aspects of the use of fundraising and grantwriting tools, the prospects of their use for the reconstruction of Ukraine in war and post-war times. The main possibilities for the reconstruction of housing stock, communal, social and critical infrastructure are outlined. The main and largest grant programs from the USA, the European Union, and the government of Ukraine are described. It is considered under what conditions the process of attracting international technical assistance, in particular grants, is the most effective, taking into account the peculiarities of fundraising and grant writing. The prospects of their use to attract extra-budgetary alternative resources for the projects of authorities, local self-government, representatives of business and the public sector are demonstrated. The basic principles of fundraising and the aspects determining the active position of the grant writer are emphasized. The sluggish process of separating the knowledge of fundraising and grantwriting specialists into a separate professional category is analyzed. The reasons for the non-active and ineffective use of grant aid from our partners for the reconstruction of Ukraine are emphasized, namely: the absence of a culture of fundraising and grant writing in society, a shortage of qualified specialists of the appropriate profile, and a low level of public awareness of grant opportunities for the reconstruction of destroyed cities and Ukraine in general. It has been demonstrated under what conditions and in what form the attention of representatives of authorities, local self-government, business, the public, funds and grant programs to the aspects of fundraising and grant writing is manifested. It is concluded that the use of fundraising and grant writing tools to attract extra-budgetary, alternative resources is one of the most important prerequisites for the effective recovery of Ukraine in war and post-war times. Overcoming difficulties and obstacles is possible if the culture of fundraising and grantwriting is actively established in society, broad informational support from grantmakers, authorities and foundations, professionalization of grantwriting and fundraising.
