Presented in partnership with the Community Foundations of Canada, Philanthropic Foundations Canada, Charles Stewart Mott Foundation, and the German Marshall Fund of the United States.
The Russian war on Ukraine has heightened existing concerns about democratic backsliding across the globe and poses new risks to civil society's role in preserving democratic institutions and norms. The third funder-only roundtable series will focus on how lessons learned from the war on Ukraine can impact the sustainability of democracy worldwide and how funders can strengthen local civil society for the long term.
Our conversation will focus on how can the war on Ukraine impact the sustainability of democracy worldwide and what role can funders play in strengthening local civil society long-term?
