In August 2025, the first regional project office of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives opened at the National Library of the Komi Republic. Its mission is to support creative teams implementing original initiatives that contribute to the region's cultural development. The office offers assistance to all prospective applicants—from refining project ideas to preparing high-quality grant proposals.
Established on the initiative of Russian President Vladimir Putin, the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives provides comprehensive support for projects in culture, the arts, and creative industries. Funding cultural initiatives aligns with the goals of the Family national project. In Komi, the implementation of national projects remains under the oversight of regional head Rostislav Goldstein.
Applications can be submitted via the official website of the Presidential Fund for Cultural Initiatives.
