Philanthropy data, resources and know-how

We are a regional foundation based in Belgrade dedicated to developing and transforming philanthropy in the countries of the Western Balkans.

With constant crises – pandemics, wars, financial collapses – kindness, support, and philanthropy are needed more than ever. Especially at the local and community level. But we need to do it smarter, with data-driven and digital approaches.

Our mission is to empower people and organizations to engage and support each other in creating good in their communities. That's why we're creating an ecosystem of philanthropy tools, education, and a community of changemakers and fundraisers.
