This may be the construction of a playground, the organization of children's leisure or the opening of short-term language courses. Initiative groups from all regions of the country can become holders of small grants. We will provide comprehensive and support to a wide range of initiatives that are useful for society," says Acting Chairman of the Board of the Center for Support of Civil Initiatives Galym Kurman.
