“Community Development” once again among the top philanthropists of Ukraine
The national competition “Charitable Ukraine” has been recognizing our work for several consecutive years!
On June 3, in the Mirror Hall of the Lviv National Opera, an official awards ceremony was held by the All-Ukrainian “Charitable Ukraine” Competition. We were honored to receive an invitation and be among fellow volunteers and organizations that have made it their mission to help others. Seven categories were presented, including ours – “Regional Charity”, in which we have already won three times and received the Amber Angel award. This year, we made it to the finals and took 3rd place.
Each year, we submit a mandatory financial report with supporting documents, a detailed description of our work and completed projects, the number of people involved, the categories of the population we support, and the full legal names of all our partners and donors. All this is accompanied by references to media coverage mentioning us. Based on all these factors, a qualified jury from the Association of Philanthropists of Ukraine decides which organizations receive diplomas and awards.
We are proud that, despite the critical shortage of core staff, we still manage to continue our main line of work and maintain our longstanding projects. As noted on Facebook by the director of the foundation, Veronika Khitchenko (Nica Nicaleo), who recently received a “TOP-100” award for her professional contribution to philanthropy and culture:
“For several years in a row, we — the ‘Community Development’ Charitable Foundation — have been finalists and three-time winners of the national “Charitable Ukraine” competition. That’s probably not a coincidence. Despite having far fewer team members and volunteers, and even though I personally handle most of the online work, we’re still in the finals. We continue to prove that the greatest human virtue is compassion and love for others. While business people may think we’re odd, these same people often join us and help to improve the lives of others. Why? Because ‘doing good together is simple’! With my heart in Lviv and side by side with our team. Thank you to everyone who supports and helps.”
Let’s do good together!
Our social and charitable events are held under the patronage of the President of the NGO and Charitable Foundation “Community Development”, Oleksandr Veremeenko.
