#ARCTIC. #SIBERIA. THIS IS TAIMYR. The Nornickel has summed up the results of the first grant competition, The World of Taimyr. Its winners – tribal communities, non-profit and budgetary organizations – will use the grants to implement projects aimed not only at preserving long-term traditions and at developing the territory of traditional residence, but also at creating new jobs, developing tourism, using distance learning.
The grant fund of the competition was 46 million rubles. The company will support 28 socially useful initiatives that will be implemented in 2021–2022.
