Republic of Macedonia

 
 

Konekt is a Macedonian civic association created in June 2008 by a few enthusiasts who believe that Macedonia has the potential to develop relying on local resources and capacity. Konekt's Mission is to encourage and promote private giving and social responsibility targeted at effective and long-term development of Macedonia. The mission is realized through:

 

  • Encouraging individuals and families to give wisely and thoughtfully;
  • Supporting companies, regardless of their size, to donate and invest in the community strategically and with long-term impact;
  • Encouraging people throughout Macedonia to donate deliberately - even small donations can make a big change when combined;
  • Raising awareness about philanthropy's potential to have genuine impact in the society.

 

In addition to the work in the field of philanthropy, Konekt is also dedicated to promoting and encouraging Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). Konekt believes that when CSR is integrated in the business strategy, it contributes to company’s effectiveness, innovation and long-term sustainable development. In that direction, through Konekt CSR we offer support to companies in the development of their strategies, approaches and reports in the field of CSR.

 

Konekt's activities include direct counselling and services to companies, individuals and their families; advocacy for a legal framework and environment supportive of philanthropy and corporate social responsibility; analysis, research and preparing of reports; sharing good practice and comparative experience; support to not-for-profit entities (civic associations, foundations, public institutions, etc.) on how to be trustworthy recipients of donations.

 

In Konekt's work particular attention is paid to support of a development of significant and productive cross-sector partnerships between companies and non-profit organizations, public institutions, and communities.
