The "UCF Edu-Fund Platform" is a bold initiative aimed at supporting programmes that address educational poverty, among lower and upper secondary school students aged 11 to 19.
Adopting a multidimensional approach, the programmes supported by the platform address both the core and peripheral factors contributing to the educational challenges faced by young people in the countries where UniCredit operates.
With a funding pool of up to 6 million, the platform will remain open from November 17, 2025, to February 16, 2026.
It offers three streams of funding opportunities, ranging from €100,000 to over €1 million, to accommodate programmes of varying scope and scale. These streams are designed to engage non-profit organisations committed to fostering quality education, ensuring a comprehensive and inclusive response to the educational needs of the communities.
The initiative extends to Austria, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia, and Slovenia.
