🟦 Examples & Case Studies
Here are just a few examples of how we help clients secure funding and achieve their goals:
🔹 SME Grant Application
Problem:
Small family owned eco-hotels in the south of Ukraine wanted to expand the season but lacked access to affordable financing.
Solution:
We prepared a business plan for grant application that highlighted sustainability, local job creation, and community benefits — aligning with donor priorities.
Result:
The project secured $51,000 in USAID grant funding, enabling the hotels’ to extend the tourist season and introduce eco-friendly practices.
🔹 Municipal Development Grant
Problem:
A municipality sought funding to create a tourism information center and improve local infrastructure.
Solution:
I led the preparation of a comprehensive proposal including budget, implementation plan, and measurable outcomes.
Result:
The municipality received €350,000 from EU, successfully launching the project and attracting new visitors to the region.
🔹 Large-Scale Institutional Project (U-LEAD with Europe)
Problem:
Local governments in Ukraine needed a strategic framework to strengthen community-led tourism development and attract sustainable funding.
Solution:
As project lead, I coordinated the development of a comprehensive Tourism Development Concept for U-LEAD with Europe. The work included stakeholder consultations, a multi-year roadmap, budgeting, and integration of EU best practices.
Result:
The concept was approved by international donors and became a model for community-driven tourism initiatives, positioning municipalities to access multi-million-dollar EU support programs.
