Project Typeface Alphabet of the Ukrainian Identity was prepared in collaboration between Projector Creative & Tech Foundation and ЗМІN Foundation to serve a cultural awareness objective as part of ЗМІN Grant Program 2023.
01
Projector Institute established the Projector Creative & Tech Foundation in order to teach creative and IT professions to 5,000 Ukrainian women who were forcefully displaced inside or outside the country due to the war in Ukraine. In April 2022, the Foundation was a start-up. Now it has grown into a sustainable non-profit charity with a long-term impact that provides training for women and also implements creative and cultural projects.

ЗМІN Foundation is a private Ukrainian fund meant to offer systemic expert services in order to foster effective social transformation and sustainable development. The Foundation’s vision contains inclusive civil society capable of sensitivity and joining efforts for a better tomorrow.
