Currently, many of us are fundraising for those on the front lines — a husband, son, friend, brother, sister, coworker, or neighbor. But how may we do this ethically? How may we convey burning emotions without resorting to shock tactics? Iryna Huk, Head of the Leleka-Ukraine Foundation and speaker at the Heroes' Backbone Professional Fundraisers' Summit hosted by ISAR Ednannia on September 12 will share insights on "intuitive fundraising" in social media.
Iryna Huk has been involved in medical volunteering for the military for over 10 years, starting with providing basic medical supplies and the first NATO-standard first aid kits to now leading a tactical medical foundation and advocating for changes in national medical supply standards. The Leleka-Ukraine Foundation, a Ukrainian-American initiative, has specialized in tactical medical support to the military since 2014. During the full-scale invasion, the foundation has focused on equipping combat medics with medical backpacks, specialized supplies, stretchers, evacuation vehicles, and electronic warfare systems to protect against FPV drones. In the last 12 months alone, the foundation has provided over 174 million UAH in aid to the medics of the Defense Forces.
From Iryna Huk, you will also learn how to raise funds for the military in the third year of the war, even if you're not a professional marketer or advertiser, and why every member of a charity team should connect with the people in the trenches, rather than just seeing effectiveness in graphs, numbers, and completed projects.

How can Ukrainian businesses cooperate in the military sector? Dmytro Tomchuk, another speaker at the Heroes' Backbone Professional Fundraisers Summit, organized by ISAR Ednannia in Kyiv on September 12, has the answers.
Dmytro Tomchuk is a successful Ukrainian entrepreneur with over 20 years of experience. He founded the FISON investment fund, which specializes in supporting IT projects. He also serves as a regular jury member for various national startup competitions and investment contests for Ukrainian entrepreneurs. Additionally, Dmytro is the author of two books: Here it Bites, which delves into the Ukrainian business landscape, and Don't Stop the White Bus, a poignant account of the evacuation of children from occupied territories.
During the Summit, Dmytro, directly involved in logistical and material cooperation with the Ukrainian military, will share his practical experience in business-military collaboration.

If you are interested in challenges faced by charitable foundations in the war-related sector, how they overcome them, and how to build an effective civil-military cooperation mechanism, join us on September 12 at the Professional Fundraisers Summit Heroes’ Backbone, organized by ISAR Ednannia in Kyiv.
Diana Ilnytska, Head and Founder of the Riy Charitable Foundation, has worked in the charity sphere for 13 years. She built a production fund from scratch with 820 permanent volunteers. Last year, Diana organized a civil-military cooperation unit within a logistics battalion of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, utilizing modern management methods, project management, and fundraising techniques.
“Fundraising for me is not about money but about relationships and cooperation for common goals. It’s important to see the person in everyone and work with what motivates them. There are no impossible results - the key is to work hard and systematically,” says Diana.
