Corporate Philantropy

Make your donation to make an impact!

Донирај за да влијаеш! 

Many companies donate to the communities they operate in. Through their donations, the companies connect in a unique way with the people in their community. Donations give companies a chance to promote the creation of a more humane society and equitable development that would create equal opportunities for all citizens. Donations are a powerful tool that companies use to support issues of concern to citizens. They empower citizens to get actively involved in the addressing of issues in the community.

Konekt promotes and encourages corporate philanthropy. We believe that donations from companies should largely be directed to addressing long-term problems in society and the reasons that created them. We see corporate donations as a form of social investment. Every company needs investment and a strategic approach in order to build long-term value. The same applies to donations. They are social investments that need to be strategically planned in order to achieve the desired effects and influence regardless of the company's size. 

Konekt helps companies create a systematic approach to corporate philanthropy. We advise them on how to focus and strategically plan their giving practices to achieve better effects. In doing so, we strive to integrate corporate philanthropy into the company's overall CSR strategy and its business practices. In the long term, this approach is better for the community, and it also creates greater added value for the company itself.

Konekt also provides support in the development of models of investing into the community through cooperation with not-for-profit organizations. We encourage companies to view not-for-profit organizations as a resource and a partner, and not only as a passive recipient of their donations.

Our services to companies include: development of corporate philanthopy and community investment strategies, administration and evaluation of giving programs, identifying successful and reliable donation recipients and non-profit partners.

 

Specific achievements:

  • Konekt helped the American Chamber of Commerce in Macedonia (AmCham)  develop a focused approach to giving in areas of strategic interest to the Chamber. Together with AmCham we designed the first social entrepreneurship competition in Macedonia, to start in February 2010. Konekt is also in charge of administering the competition.
  • To ensure successful realization of the project of EVN Macedonia "School Service for Rational Energy Use", Konekt is administering the project and coordinating the cooperation between EVN Macedonia and four not-for-profit organizations implementing on-site activities. The project won the 2008 National CSR Award in the category "Community Investing"/Big Companies.
