With the war in Ukraine far from over, the immediate wave of support from philanthropy has dwindled. However, the war continues to have devastating impacts on Ukraine, Ukrainians globally, global food insecurity, and the global economy.
In partnership with the Community Foundations of Canada, Philanthropic Foundations Canada, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States, join us for a funder-only roundtable series starting in October. This roundtable series will feature guest speakers with deep expertise on the war and its ramifications while allowing for foundations to discuss these issues in a private environment. You will have the opportunity to co-create the series through a brief survey at the end of the inaugural session by sharing your thoughts on what we can do for you around your efforts related to Ukraine.
This conversation will focus on:
- What are current, near-term, and longer-term needs that philanthropy can respond to in support of Ukraine and Ukrainians?
Moderator:
- Martina Hrvolova, Resident Fellow and Senior Advisor to the Transatlantic Democracy Working Group, The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF)
Speakers:
- Nick Deychakiwsky, Senior Program Officer, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation
- Jonathan Katz, Democracy Initiatives Director, The German Marshall Fund of the United States (GMF)
- Oksana Markarova, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Ukraine to the United States
- Roman Waschuk, Business Ombudsman and former Canadian Ambassador to Ukraine
