About the document

Unified system of transformation of socially significant initiatives into confirmed results and scalable solutions

“Grant conveyor” is described as a project of a single route for socially significant initiatives: from primary diagnosis and examination to the pilot, confirmation of the result and scaling. The resources are proposed to be provided in stages - as the project matures and the evidence accumulates, and the solutions are fixed in the overall digital environment.

Financing of the phase

The applicant reassembles the package for each fund.

Conclusions and data do not form a single project profile.

Money is given for events, not proof of results.

strong initiatives do not reach a sustainable model, and the system does not accumulate evidence
