Director of the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation Will Speak about Ukrainian Fundraising that Inspires the World at the Professional Fundraisers Summit
The phrase "This day has come!" has become one of the hallmarks of Ukrainian fundraising. That's why the Heroes' Backbone Professional Fundraisers Summit could not be complete without the Serhiy Prytula Charity Foundation, represented by its director, Andriy Shuvalov.
Drones for the army or an actual satellite? Modular housing or demining operations? It seems there are no impossible tasks for the foundation. Andriy will share unique examples of how to tirelessly inspire Ukrainians and the world to raise millions for the most urgent war-related and humanitarian needs.
Andriy joined the foundation as a volunteer in March 2022, helping organize warehouse operations in Podil. He later became the head of the operations and logistics department, responsible for streamlining logistics and optimizing coordination between the Kyiv and Dnipro hubs.
"Everyone should be involved in defending the country. You are either in the military or helping the military defeat the enemy. That is my motivation. And also, my son, whom I want to raise in a free, independent country," says Andriy.
So, hurry up – registration for the Summit, initiated by ISAR Ednannia on September 12 in Kyiv, closes today at 6:00 p.m.! Don’t miss the most exciting fundraising event of September! Register here: https://forms.gle/U5CKDW2wjWnm4eD36.
Participants Will Discuss the Phenomenon of Ukrainian Fundraising at the ISAR Ednannia Professional Fundraisers Summit
The high level of self-organization in society and mutual support facing the daily challenges of war distinguishes Ukraine's fundraising experience in recent years and is something we can share with the world.
At the Heroes’ Backbone Professional Fundraisers Summit, organized on September 12 by ISAR Ednannia, we will present a comprehensive new study on the activities of donor and international organizations in Ukraine from 2022 to 2024. The study was conducted by the Institute of Analytics and Advocacy in the framework of Ukraine Civil Society Sectoral Support Activity. The authors analyzed the activities of 162 organizations that provided aid to Ukraine and included ten in-depth interviews with representatives from international, donor, and non-governmental organizations on how global initiatives influence local changes during the war.
ISAR Ednannia will also present a unique book compiling impressive and inspiring stories of Ukrainian fundraisers. The book will showcase examples of innovative approaches to fundraising that could easily serve as models for the international community.

Intuitive fundraising from the Head of the Leleka-Ukraine Foundation at the ISAR Ednannia Professional Fundraisers' Summit
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.
