A meeting of the Coordinating Council for the provision of Presidential Grants was held

There are more and more people in Russia who want and can make life better around them. Non—profit organizations are the quintessence of this idea. Many of them were discussed today at the meeting of the Coordinating Council for the Provision of Presidential Grants. 

Often the business of such associations is quite small, but very important. To help young mothers to work, students to burn in science, and homeless animals to find warmth in their hands. The state helps to multiply good deeds. This year alone, the amount of grants is eight billion rubles. 

The participants in the presidential grant competition have completely different projects: someone helps families with young children, someone has opened an animal shelter. The money is needed to make the project work as quickly as possible, that is, to help. 

As part of the first competition, about eight thousand projects apply for grants. They will choose more than 1.5 thousand. This means that somewhere there will be, for example, a free dog training area, or a lecture hall, or a gym. We are used to helping the disabled and the poor, but in Khabarovsk we thought about how difficult it is for parents of first-graders. 

"The child went to first grade, and it was stressful for my family. We used to have a child who was busy at kindergarten all day.", " he says Elena Kadakina. 

And now he's finishing his studies in the afternoon, so at least run away from work. Elena Kadakina is the Head of Extracurricular Activities at the Pacific University. She was greatly helped by the children's room, which was opened at the university. The children of the university staff come here after school. They sculpt, paint, and embroider with them. They can also help you do the lessons. 

"We are also thinking that these are our future students. If they want to come to us every day today, they will come here to study. And for us it is very important that the Far East develops, so that people do not leave for the centers," says Natalia Didukh, chairman of the trade union committee of TOGU workers.

The International CASE IN Young Engineers Championship has been won several times by the President's grant. Students assemble teams and solve so—called case studies in petrochemistry, mining, and energy. For example, how to develop a gas field or launch a substation. The winners of the competition have not finished their studies yet, but they are already being invited to work.

"At least 10 people have already joined Rosatom, Alrosa, and the Ministry of Energy is also inviting them to work."- said the deputy head of ANO "Russia is a country of opportunities" Vladislav Davankov. 

Student Kira Olenova, like many women, believes that her best friends are diamonds, as well as gold, silver, and platinum. Only she doesn't wear them, but studies them. The girl is a geologist. Thanks to the CASE IN competition, she got an internship at a mining company and worked her first shift in Yakutia. 

"This is a creative approach to each well. Wells are not all the same, they are all different — that's what attracts. Deep down, you think you're contributing to our country's economy."- says the girl.

And it just hurts someone to see a stray animal. A shelter for cats was opened in Perm with a presidential grant (almost two million rubles). And the shelter will soon open a cafe where you can drink coffee and pet a cat.

"We hope that in the cat cafe people will be able to communicate with the animal, choose a friend. But even if you can't take an animal, then by coming to the cat cafe, you will help the animal, because the cafe will be charitable and the proceeds from the sale of coffee, food, souvenirs will go to help the shelter," says the head of the shelter Galina Mora. 

This is the fifth competition within the framework of the Presidential Grants Foundation. It is held twice a year. In 2019, eight billion rubles will be distributed among the winners. Sergey Kiriyenko, First Deputy head of the Presidential Administration of the Russian Federation, said that for every ruble allocated by the fund, there are more than 70 kopecks from other sources. 

Small and big good deeds, on which they do not build a business, from which they do not seek financial benefits. Based on the fact that there are people who care about what's going on in their yard, neighborhood, city, country. The All-Russian campaign to clean up garbage from the shores of Lake Baikal this year will be supported by a presidential grant.
