💬 “Pay it forward. Many investors focus solely on direct investments instead of building partnerships. However, now is a great time to establish partnerships with Ukraine. Indirect investments are a perfect solution for smart, brave, and strategically-minded investors. By donating or investing in regionally significant social, business, or infrastructural projects, investors may receive reciprocal business opportunities from a grateful government, regional, or local authorities. It’s not always obvious, but it works. From this perspective, indirect investments could take the form of philanthropy, including collaboration with NGOs. Investors who begin now - even with small investments or donations - can build loyalty and open doors to larger collaborations and profits in the future”, - Roman Brytanchuk, 𝘾𝙝𝙞𝙚𝙛 𝙁𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙧𝙖𝙞𝙨𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣𝙙 𝙋𝙖𝙧𝙩𝙣𝙚𝙧𝙨𝙝𝙞𝙥 𝙊𝙛𝙛𝙞𝙘𝙚𝙧, 𝙎𝙥𝙞𝙫𝘿𝙞𝙞𝙖 𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙁𝙤𝙪𝙣𝙙𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣.

By supporting NGOs like SpivDiia Charity Foundation, investors can help Ukrainians rebuild their lives through mental health, legal aid, and employment support. ▪️ 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗣𝘂𝗯𝗹𝗶𝗰-𝗣𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗣𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗻𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽𝘀 🏘️🤝 A big need in Ukraine is housing for IDPs. Banks and local authorities are ready, but there’s a financing gap for construction. More impact investors can help bridge this gap, especially for communities from destroyed cities like Mariupol and Bakhmut. #W4UAConference2024 #W4UA #Chicago #Ukraine #EconomicCooperation #NGO #SpivDiia #SpivDiiaFoundation #Partnerships #Investments #Recovery #SupportUkraine #USA #Poland #Чикаго
