Philanthropic Donor fund and Days of Donations

In our donor fund, we are joining the donations from businesses and individuals and directing them to trusted non-profit organizations that promote the sustainable development of the country. Konekt acts as a philanthropic advisor, organizing the recipient selection process and monitoring the effects, reporting back to the donors. This is a strategic philanthropic mechanism that allows donors, families, and businesses to enhance their impact at a higher level while reducing the burden of organizing the entire process. The fund directs joint donations to civil society organizations for initiatives that have the potential for long-term impact and contribute to sustainable development in the following areas: quality education, decent work and sustainable growth, good health and well-being, and poverty eradication.


The first 300,000 denars from the Philanthropic Donor Fund were allocated to support 3 initiatives of 3 CSOs

“Days of Donations” is a campaign that is slowly but surely becoming a traditional celebration of philanthropy in our country, focused on sustainable development. During these days, citizens, families, and companies will experience the joy of collective giving by supporting the initiatives of civil organizations and groups. We are creating a movement that will not wait for others to solve their problems but will take matters into their own hands. Due to the positive experience and excellent results, the national campaign “Days of Donations” will be held annually with a series of donor events that will continue to strengthen the Donor fund. The “Days of Donations” campaign is planned to start every second Thursday in October, with a series of activities that will be carried out until the end of November
