Grant support for NGOs per year. Red Cross instead of a Surgeon: who received presidential grants

On April 17, a competition for presidential grants was launched for NGOs involved in the development of civil society, implementing socially significant projects and projects in the field of human rights protection. What has changed in the distribution of grants this year?

Presidential grants for NGOs began to be distributed in 2006. Initially, the operator of the competitions was the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation itself, but already in 2007 these functions were transferred to six non-profit grant operators. To compensate for the costs of organizing competitions, they received 6% of the transferred amounts.

In 2006, 500 million rubles were allocated for grants. By 2008, their size increased to 1.5 billion rubles, and then for several years it settled at around 1 billion rubles. Grants began to increase again in 2012 when the the federal law dated July 20, 2012 No. 121-FZ, introducing restrictions for so-called “foreign agents”. Because of this law, Russian NPOs actually lost the opportunity to receive funding from abroad - and as compensation, in 2013 the volume of presidential grants increased to 2.6 billion rubles, in 2014 - to 3.7 billion rubles, in 2015 year – up to 4.2 billion rubles. In 2016, grants worth RUB 4.5 billion were distributed.

At the same time, more and more criticism was caused by the work of grant operators, the number of which by 2016 had grown to nine. The process has become overly bureaucratic. An NPO applying for a grant had to familiarize itself with the list of grant operators and find out in what areas they distribute grants.

At the same time, the website of the RF OP indicated several areas of work for grant operators - but did not say which areas were priority. Thus, an NPO could submit an application to a grant operator who is interested in supporting physical education and sports, rehabilitation of drug addicts and animal protection - and then find out that this operator distributes most of the grants “for physical education”, and is not so interested in drug addicts and animals. To avoid this, NPOs had to further clarify the priorities of grant operators.

As a result, NPOs began sending applications to all operators in a row. Because of this, it became difficult for operators to work; they could look at a really worthwhile project behind a large flow of requests. And some NPOs, on the contrary, were suddenly lucky - they received grants from two operators at once. It was noted that some grants actually go nowhere - for example, in 2014, a grant for 3.6 million rubles. won the NGO from the Krasnoyarsk Territory “Southern Horizons”, which planned to create a discussion platform “I’m a blogger” based on LiveJournal and Twitter. It is not possible to find traces of this site on the Internet - it is mentioned only in articles criticizing the grant distribution system.

In 2016, it was decided to streamline the process by creating a single grant operator. The new structure included several co-founders representing former operators.

Political scientist Alexei Makarkin back in February 2016, in a conversation with RBC, linked changes in the distribution of grants with the arrival in the Kremlin of a new team dealing with internal politics under the leadership of Sergei Kiriyenko. As it became known later, Kiriyenko actually headed the coordinating committee of the new Presidential Grants Fund for the Development of Civil Society. And the general director of the fund was Ilya Chukalin, an expert at the All-Russian Civil Forum, who previously worked at the Ministry of Communications and the Ministry of Economic Development.

On April 3, 2017, the President of the Russian Federation signed an order and decree on the distribution of grants in the amount of 4.3 billion rubles. in 2017. So how can NPOs get money for a particular project?

When to apply?

This year, grants will be distributed through two competitions (not four, like last year).

Applications for the first competition are accepted from April 17 to May 31, and will be considered within two months. Winning projects must start no earlier than September 1, 2017 and end no later than November 30, 2018.

Applications for the second competition will be accepted from August 16 to September 29. The results will be announced on November 1, and the winning projects will be able to start on December 1. During the implementation of projects, winning NPOs will be required to submit quarterly reports to the grant operator in electronic form.

What projects are grants awarded for?

Grants will be distributed in 12 areas:

Social services and protection;
health protection, propaganda healthy image life;
support for family, motherhood, fatherhood and childhood;
support for youth projects;
support for projects in the field of science and education;
support for projects in the field of culture and art;
preservation of historical memory;
protection of human rights, including protection of the rights of prisoners;
security environment and animal protection;
strengthening interethnic and interreligious harmony;
development of public diplomacy and support of compatriots;
development of civil society institutions.

Is it possible to submit multiple applications at once?

At the press conference “NPOs on the threshold of change” held on April 13 at the ASI-Blagosphere media center, it was announced that each NPO can submit applications in at least all 12 areas - but even if several applications are won, only one grant will have to be chosen.

Can a newly created NPO receive a grant?

A representative of the Presidential Grants Fund for the Development of Civil Society, Anton Dolgov, in a conversation with our publication, said that NPOs registered more than a year ago can receive a grant worth more than 500 thousand rubles. If the application specifies a smaller amount, then the NPO must be created six months before the deadline for accepting applications. Thus, the latest date for registration of NPOs applying for participation in the first competition is November 30, 2016.

How to apply?

In the past, NPOs had to, first, fill out electronic form, and secondly, send a paper version of the application by mail. Now a paper application is not required - NPOs only need to upload an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities from the website of the Federal Tax Service of the Russian Federation into an electronic form. The operator will be able to find out about the details of the organization’s activities on the Internet - and if this information is not there, then it is advisable to attach the NPO to the application Thanksgiving letters, recommendations and other similar documents.

In the past, applicants were required to submit a large number of documents (such as an order for the appointment of a director), which in fact no one looked into. Now only the winners will be asked for all these documents.

How will projects be assessed?

A special expert group is responsible for each of the 12 areas. The work of these groups will then be assessed by a common expert council. And the final decision on the allocation of grants will be made by the coordination committee led by Sergei Kiriyenko.

This year, mathematical coefficients for evaluating projects are being introduced, which will increase the chances of starting NPOs to win.

How can I find out about the results of the competition?

NPOs should follow the news on the website of the Presidential Grants Fund independently. The Fund will not personally inform participants about the results of consideration of applications and explain the reasons for its decision. According to Anton Dolgov, this is explained prosaically - there are too many applications, and the experts would not have time to answer everything. Thus, in 2016, 15.7 thousand applications were in progress.

At the same time, the grant operator systematizes typical errors applicants and will publish a corresponding report. Then, based on the report, we will develop guidelines for preparing applications.

How to receive the money?

In the past, winning NPOs were required to open special bank accounts and provide a variety of statements for reporting purposes. Banks charged a commission for this, and in 2016, a total of 80 million rubles were spent on banking support for the distribution of grants. Now a special competition will be held to select banks that will accompany the distribution of grants free of charge and independently provide all statements to the operator.

How much money can you ask for?

According to some reports, the size of grants will be determined in three areas - “beginning” NPOs will be able to receive up to 500 thousand rubles, “medium” ones – up to 3 million rubles, and for grants in the amount of more than 3 million rubles. Only “experienced” NPOs will be able to calculate.
This year it is planned to abandon the practice of cutting the amounts specified in applications.

In the past, if an NGO needed 700 thousand rubles for a project, it asked for 2 million - because it was known that the estimate would be cut. This year they promise not to cut the estimates, but it is still not recommended to demand too large amounts. A project with inflated expectations simply will not have a chance of winning.

Can NPOs count on assistance other than financial?

According to Anton Dolgov, winning NPOs can send applications to the grant operator for additional assistance - eliminating administrative barriers, attracting experts, information support, etc. To the extent possible, the Foundation will try to accommodate these requests.

Grants from the President of the Russian Federation for NGOs for 2016

Today we are telling you more about the applications received from the Volga Federal District. For the first grant competition of 2018, 1,933 projects were submitted from the Volga Federal District.

1,727 of them were admitted to independent examination.

Among them are 34 applications for the implementation of long-term projects. Expand text... The leader of the district was the Republic of Tatarstan - social activists of the region submitted 359 projects to the competition. In second place in terms of the number of applications submitted was the Republic of Bashkortostan - 310 projects, and in third place - Perm region, from where 179 applications were received.

The biggest “leap forward” in terms of the growth of submitted projects occurred in the Udmurt Republic. Compared to the second competition last year, the number of projects submitted this time increased by 30%. 599 non-profit organizations in the district from among the competition participants had never applied for presidential grants before.

This year they promise not to cut the estimates, but it is still not recommended to demand too large amounts. A project with inflated expectations simply will not have a chance of winning.

Can NPOs count on assistance other than financial?

Exists separate species companies whose activities are aimed at charity, culture, social needs citizens. This is not the entire spectrum of NPO work. It is important that when carrying out their activities, non-profit structures do not aim to obtain material benefits. Areas of activity of NPOs The law clearly defines the areas in which they can operate non-profit organizations:

social protection of the population;
preventing accidents and preparing people in the event of environmental and man-made disasters;
assistance to refugees;
protection and conservation of the environment;
legal assistance to the population free of charge;
science, culture, education, sports;
patriotic work with the population.

Activities in these areas are not related to making profits.

Healthcare-related projects received the most grants in this competition, totaling RUB 323 million. Subsidies went, in particular, to the Vera hospice relief fund (5.7 million rubles) and the Best Friends support fund for people with developmental disabilities (5.5 million rubles), which had never previously won presidential grants.

The decision to distribute grants was made on July 31 at a meeting of the fund’s coordinating council chaired by First Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration Sergei Kiriyenko (RBC has a certificate of the results of the competition).

A total of 6,623 applications were submitted to the competition, of which 5,888 were registered. The largest number of grants were received by projects in the healthcare sector (146 organizations), with RUB 323 million allocated for them. In second place are educational and scientific projects(133) with the amount of 303.5 million rubles. In third place are social initiatives (123), 246.7 million rubles were allocated for them. During the meeting, Kiriyenko said that the majority of successful applications - 81.5% - came from the regions, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

Three grants were received by NGOs on the list of foreign agents: Levada Center, the Samara Province charitable foundation and the St. Petersburg Center for Support of Public Initiatives.

The average grant size was 2.32 million rubles, according to a certificate from the Presidential Grants Fund. During the first competition, experts distributed 2.25 billion rubles, despite the fact that the president spent a total of 7 billion rubles on grants this year. This is due to the fact that many projects were not drawn up “accurately and completely,” Pavel Gudkov, a member of the joint expert council, explained to RBC. “The Joint Expert Council decided to give them the opportunity to finalize them,” he added. Experts expect that the competition participants will finalize the “raw” applications and submit them again for the second competition, which is scheduled to begin on August 16.

During the competition last year, 502 projects received grants. Most of them (227) were distributed by grant operators Perspektiva, the Russian Youth Union (RSM) and the National Charitable Foundation, specializing in patriotic, educational and social projects. Most of the grants for healthcare were distributed by the National Health League; 56 projects received them. Another grant operator, the Russian Union of Rectors, distributed 59 grants - they went, among other things, to the international show “Fifth Empire” of the bike organization “Night Wolves”, to popularize the history of the Cossacks to the state society “Shchapovskoye” and to the video studio “Patriot”, which in the fall released last year cartoon about the death of a Russian soldier in Syria.

This year, “Night Wolves”, which have received presidential grants since 2011, did not pass the competition. The regional branches of the organization “Combat Brotherhood”, co-led by the founder of “Anti-Maidan” Dmitry Sablin, did not receive a grant either (last year they received more than 15 million rubles). According to Transparency International - Russia expert Ivolga, this is due to the desire of the authorities “ make the system transparent and more objective.” “Now we have really decided to support healthcare; they believe that this is more important than patriotic projects,” she noted.

Conflict of interest

NGOs associated with organizations that are part of the grant operator took part in the competition for grants. For example, the charitable foundation for the implementation of the National Health League programs, which received 4.3 million rubles. for the youth project “My Alternative”, is a subsidiary organization of the organization of the same name, which is part of a single grant operator. Grant in the amount of 2.9 million rubles. received by the organization “Radimichi - Children of Chernobyl”. Its founder, Pavel Vdovichenko, heads another organization that is part of the Presidential Grants Fund - “Civic Dignity”.

Experts related to the competition participants declared a conflict of interest and did not make decisions on these projects, Ilya Chukalin, director of the Presidential Grants Fund, assured RBC. Information about this will appear on the fund’s website within a few days, he promised.

“Usually, a conflict of interest is declared immediately and openly,” Ivolga noted in a conversation with RBC. “During the distribution of grants from the Ministry of Economic Development, for example, along with the results it is announced that such and such an expert declared a conflict of interest and did not make a decision on this project.”

Twice as much

The second and last presidential grant competition of this year is scheduled for August. In a conversation with RBC, Chukalin emphasized that the number of applications submitted during the current stage is approximately twice as much as a year earlier. During the first competition in 2016, 3,984 applications were submitted for grants - 40% less than now. However, in total, four grant competitions were held in 2016, with 1,623 organizations winning.

Chukalin explained the increase in the number of applications by simplifying the procedure: in order to submit an application, it was necessary to provide only two documents - the charter of the organization and an extract from the Unified State Register of Legal Entities. Previously, participants were required to provide documents on the appointment of the head of the participating organization, chief accountant and a certificate from tax office about the absence of debts. Now organizations with debts have the right to register for the competition (although they are required to pay them off before the results are announced). Another factor in increasing interest in the competition is wide publicity, noted Chukalin. In all federal districts, he said, information events were held where information about the competition was told.

How the winners were selected

In April, a meeting of the fund’s coordinating council was held in the Kremlin, at which the principles for evaluating grant applications were changed. Then RBC sources said that applications would be assessed according to ten criteria, and the final assessments of projects with explanations would be published in the public domain.

Projects were assessed according to ten parameters on a ten-point scale, Chukalin told RBC. The results of the competition winners with expert comments are published on the official website of the foundation. The remaining applicants are informed of their results individually.

“This is so as not to provoke conflicts in the commercial sector. A low rating is a shame,” Chukalin explained. According to the director of the fund, many projects did not receive grants due to the fact that they did not meet the “realism criterion”: “After all, sometimes an organization asks for something inaccessible - a Macbook Air, like a blue dream, or a UAZ Patriot, but it must be included Premium. Why would an environmental project need machines with such equipment?”

The selection procedure has become more transparent due to the fact that the grant operator has completely switched to an electronic application form, added Gudkov, a member of the expert council. “Also [the procedure has become more transparent] by minimizing human factor with the automatic distribution of applications among experts whose pool has been significantly updated,” he said.

The decision on which NPOs would receive grants was made by experts and members of the coordinating committee headed by Kiriyenko. According to Chukalin, the committee has a decisive vote - it can reduce or increase the number of points needed to win, and veto the results of the competition, sending all projects for revision. “Sergei Vladilenovich [Kirienko] always delves very deeply into the procedure for distributing grants, studies projects, expresses his opinion,” emphasized the director of the foundation.

The state supports public non-profit organizations for stable and high-quality activities that help the active formation and development of civil society. Read more about the list of grants, reasons and amounts for receiving them in this article.
