misto.cafe isn’t just a café — it’s a community of people making a difference in the city. It all started with a crowdfunding campaign that brought together 100 co-founders — local businesses and changemakers — on a mission to make Lutsk better.

The misto.cafe grant program helps active locals bring cool, useful ideas to life — making our city cozier, brighter, and more welcoming for everyone.

How It Works?

Think of a cool project that can improve the city. Fill out the application. Just explain your idea, what you expect to achieve, and how much it will cost.

We’ll check if your project meets the basic requirements. Our team will look at your project and give it a rating. The winners and the number of projects we’ll support are decided at the General Meeting.


What’s Next?

Once your project gets the green light, it’s time to roll up your sleeves!

You’ll get the funding, start working, and turn your idea into reality. We’ll be here cheering you on, celebrating your wins, and enjoying the positive changes together!

If you’ve got the drive to make things happen, share your project with us and be part of the change in your city!

What the co-founders look at:

  • Does it fit the program's focus? – like ecology, culture, etc.
  • Is it solving real problems in the Lutsk community?
  • How much of an impact will it have on the people around?
  • How many people will benefit from the project?
  • Will the results stick around after the project ends?
  • Are different social groups included in the project?
  • Does it involve vulnerable groups of people?
  • Are the project goals and tasks clear and realistic?
  • Is the project plan logical and doable?
  • Is the budget realistic and match the actual costs?
  • Can the applicant pull this off? – like the team, resources, and know-how.

Who's Behind misto.cafe?

The team at “Algorithm of Actions” kicked off the misto.cafe project and is now in charge of making it happen. They handle everything from working with participants, co-founders, and stakeholders to keeping things on track and running smoothly, including coordinating the grant seasons.

The way misto.cafe works is inspired by Urban Space 100, a community-driven restaurant that's been thriving for 9 years. It was created by the team at "Teple Misto" in Ivano-Frankivsk.
