Applications from other regions of Ukraine will be considered only after the distribution of agricultural machinery among the affected enterprises from the above-mentioned areas.

APPLICATIONS WILL NOT BE CONSIDERED IF:

  • submitted in an incorrect or unofficial format;

  • submitted without all required documents or with incomplete information as requested by the Foundation;

  • submitted by entities that had negative cooperation experience with the Foundation in the past (such as violation of agreement terms, careless use of equipment, failure to return equipment in proper condition, poor communication, or failure to provide the required information, photos, or video reports during cooperation).

IMPORTANT FOR ASSISTANCE RECIPIENTS!

The head of the enterprise must be personally present at both the handover and return of the machinery.

All agreements and acts of transfer/acceptance of material assets must be signed exclusively by the head or owner of the enterprise (no power of attorney will be accepted).

The head/owner of the receiving enterprise is obliged to:

  • ensure that only qualified and certified personnel with valid licenses/permits and who have undergone safety and occupational training are allowed to operate the equipment;

  • designate an operator responsible for handling the equipment and, at the time of signing the agreement, provide the Foundation with relevant documents and contact details of that operator, including copies of licenses or permits of the appropriate category;

  • ensure regular maintenance checks and daily care of the equipment, including fluid level checks, greasing as per the manufacturer's recommendations, daily tire pressure monitoring as recommended by the tire manufacturer, and other necessary upkeep.

Recipients are responsible for:

  • covering all direct costs associated with operating the machinery, including fuel and operator wages;

  • ensuring, at their own expense, that the equipment undergoes scheduled maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s regulations, using official dealers in Ukraine.
