Monday 22 July 2024
UniCredit Foundation is on a mission to tackle youth educational poverty head-on.
UniCredit Foundation has recently launched the UCF Edu-Fund Platform, a €14 million euros commitment to support programmes that are dedicated to lifting young people out of educational deprivation in the markets where we operate.
What's the UCF Edu-Fund Platform all about?

It's a testament to UniCredit Foundation's dedication to making a positive social impact. It's a year-round initiative, ready to back projects until the funds are fully utilised.

The platform is all about multidimensional support, involving key community stakeholders to address educational challenges.

The focus is on students aged 11-19, targeting early school drop-out prevention, teacher training, university attainment encouragement, and employability enhancement.

Who can join the cause?
Non-profit organisations operating locally or across countries with a strong presence in Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia are all invited to participate.
With three streams of funding opportunities ranging from €100,000 euros to over €1 million euros, UCF Edu-Fund Platform is casting a wide net to engage various entities dedicated to fostering quality education and regional growth.
By empowering communities and addressing educational poverty, the UniCredit Foundation is dedicated to paving the way for a more equitable and inclusive future, one student at a time.
