As a reminder, at the end of 2023 - the beginning of 2024, the "Union" Fund, in cooperation with the military administrations of the Stanislav, Bilozerka, and Chornobaivka communities, collected ideas regarding desired initiatives in the field of reconstruction among the displaced and remained population in the specified communities. Ideas were collected in two stages: online and offline. In addition to the general goal of the idea, community residents could also indicate the field to which their idea belongs, who is the beneficiary of the implementation of such an idea, who should participate in its implementation, where the idea should be implemented, and also who should finance it. Everyone who would like to participate directly in the implementation of the idea had the opportunity to indicate in which format they are ready to participate and leave contacts for further communication. Almost 600 ideas were collected. They were evaluated by the competition commission in the last 2 weeks.
