In the long aftermath of war, the hardest work often begins when the fighting pauses — the slow, unglamorous labor of helping wounded people reclaim their lives. uCare's Victory Hubs 2026 Grant Competition offers Ukrainian nonprofits up to $3,000 each to develop scalable, technology-driven solutions for people living with severe war-related injuries, from amputations to spinal damage. With 15 to 18 projects expected to receive funding before the August 31, 2026 deadline, the program bets not on charity but on innovation — seeding ideas designed to outlast the money itself.
