Capacity Strengthening Program "NGO 360" Report

By Daria Kopiievska | Partnerships Manager

This report covers the progress of our campaign for the period of July – October 2026. During this timeframe, although we did not receive direct contributions on this specific project page, we were granted a $472.50 USD undesignated donation through GlobalGiving from a returning donor who previously supported our work.

We are deeply grateful for this contribution and for the platform's role in driving visibility for our organization. Because these funds were provided without a specific designation, we decided to immediately utilize them to fund full scholarship seats for verified Ukrainian civil society organizations across our active specialized educational courses.

As a direct result of this support, we opened applications for 5 full scholarship spots for verified CSOs to participate in our micro-intensive course, "LinkedIn for NGOs: Visibility Strategy".

This practical course features concise lectures (up to 30 minutes), actionable tasks after each module, and a live expert session to analyze participants' outcomes and real case studies. The curriculum covers LinkedIn fundamentals, profile optimization, content strategy, networking, and the application of AI tools for CSOs.

On October 20, 2026, we launched a dedicated email campaign to our database of verified CSOs, inviting them to apply by October 23, with selected organizations to be announced on October 27.

Looking ahead, we also plan to use these funds to cover scholarship seats for another upcoming program on Email Marketing for CSOs.

Our communications team remained focused on outreach throughout this period, publishing posts on social media on July 9, 2026, followed by the targeted newsletter on October 20 (please see the screenshots with the examples in the attached document).

While we remain confident that we will eventually secure sufficient funding to fully launch the complete "NGO 360°" course cohort, we are immensely glad to provide immediate value through these scholarship opportunities today.

We express our heartfelt gratitude for this donation and continued support of our educational programs, which empower Ukrainian civil society organizations to build essential skills and long-term resilience.

Capacity Strengthening Program "NGO 360" Report

By Daria Kopiievska | Partnerships Manager

This report outlines the current progress of the "NGO 360°" fundraising campaign. We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our first two donors, whose early contributions of $50 and $150 (totaling $200) have provided a critical foundation for this initiative. Because the educational course is already fully developed, this vital support is immediately being put into action, directly sponsoring program access for a local Ukrainian non-governmental organization. Specifically, the $50 contribution covers strategic checklists and practical task materials for one month of organizational growth, while the $150 contribution funds specialized lectures on reporting and transparency.

Data from the two previous cohorts of this program demonstrates the specific institutional impact this funding has on an individual organization. For a grassroots NGO, accessing these modules provides practical templates for project planning, risk mitigation, and team coordination. Past scholarship recipients used these exact materials to structure internal governance, form long-term operational strategies, and initiate organizational supervisory boards, resulting in a 96.2% participant satisfaction rate (an average score of 4.81 out of 5). The $200 raised ensures that another local organization can immediately implement these structural improvements.

The communications department has evaluated the performance of the initial outreach channels to optimize resource allocation. The team executed two newsletter campaigns directed at our international database alongside publishing updates on social media. The newsletters were discontinued after data indicated they did not meet efficiency targets. Consequently, the outreach strategy was adjusted to focus on professional networks and leadership-driven distribution. The campaign is currently being promoted via LinkedIn updates from the organization's co-founders and the head of capacity-building programs.

The communication plan for the upcoming week includes publishing a practical operational case study on LinkedIn, an expert post by the head of capacity-building programs regarding our educational products, and additional updates from the co-founders. Concurrently, our team is communicating with potential institutional and strategic partners to secure alternative channels of support. While the long-term objective remains fundraising for the full cohort of 10 Ukrainian organizations, these first two contributions have successfully initiated the practical phase of the program for its first beneficiary. We remain deeply grateful to these initial donors for recognizing the value of this work and providing the essential foundation to begin.
