This one-hour webinar will take place on Thursday 10th October at 10am ET / 3pm BST / 5pm EEST. It will be hosted on Zoom in English, with live Ukrainian interpretation.
How can philanthropists continue to support Ukrainian NGOs and build their organisational capacity at this critical time?
There is a lot to learn from experienced funders, such as UBS Optimus Foundation and GlobalGiving, who have raised and deployed over $100 million combined. It is also crucial to listen to experienced organisations on the ground, like the Alliance of Ukrainian Civil Society Organizations, a think tank focused on ensuring local leadership in and setting the foundation for recovery processes in Ukraine.
