DFC | DFC Announces Launch of Online Application Portal for U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund

WASHINGTON, D.C. – The U.S. International Development Finance Corporation (DFC) today announced the launch of its new online portal for applicants to submit projects to the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund (URIF). This follows December’s announcement that the fund is fully operational and poised to start underwriting its first investments in 2026.

“DFC is excited to begin 2026 with the launch of the URIF application portal. The fund is ready to deploy investments that will advance shared economic security and prosperity for the United States and Ukraine. We look forward to reviewing project proposals and making our first investments in the months ahead,” said Conor Coleman, DFC Head of Investments and member of the URIF Board of Directors.

To apply, applicants should go to the URIF portal linked here and below to submit their project proposals for consideration. URIF will consider proposals for the fund’s target sectors, which include investments in critical minerals (upstream and midstream), energy (including power generation, transmission, and hydrocarbon extraction), transport and logistics, information and communications technology, and emerging technologies. While URIF is authorized to invest throughout the capital stack for eligible projects, the fund expects to prioritize equity and equity-like investments in its early years of operations.

About URIF 

The fund will leverage American talent, resources, and governance standards in its partnership with Ukraine to help promote U.S. and U.S.-aligned private capital mobilization. This will spur new, strategic investment opportunities for the United States, allies, and aligned private sector partners, including multilateral development banks and other private sector investors. It will prioritize investments in critical minerals, energy, transport and logistics, information and communications technology, and emerging technology that support supply chain resilience and shared U.S. and Ukrainian economic security and prosperity.

The U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund stands as a key pillar of the Trump administration’s efforts to deliver on its economic partnership with Ukraine, harnessing American expertise and capabilities to build a more prosperous future for both the United States and Ukraine.
