"The Krasnoyarsk regional public organization 'Agency for Public Initiatives' was established in the late 1990s. It encourages charity among citizens, commercial and non-profit organizations, and development of volunteering, as well as improving the level of social and legal culture in society. In addition, the Agency for Public Initiatives conducts various events on an ongoing basis. Among them are the projects "Time of the Young" (the goal is to educate young people in the field of civil initiatives, the formation of an active civic position and leadership qualities among the youth of the Krasnoyarsk Territory) and "There are no children-strangers" (the goal is to involve the youth of Krasnoyarsk in voluntary activities through work with orphans).

The organization was included in the list of "foreign agents" in 2016. Soon the Ministry of Justice excluded it from this list. It was proved that the Agency for Public Initiatives did not receive foreign funding and did not carry out political activities.

Reason for recognition
“The Agency for Public Initiatives” was recognized as a "foreign agent", as the Ministry of Justice considered the organization's participation in holding round tables dedicated to the activities of socially oriented non-profit organizations to be political activity. The grant agreements concluded between the Agency for Public Initiatives and the Interregional Public Foundation Siberian Center for Support of Public Initiatives (a Russian organization), which had not yet been included in the register of "foreign agents" at the time of signing the agreements, but had previously received foreign funding, were considered foreign financing.
