On its initiative, a working group was set up, which worked out a working version of the draft Law of Ukraine “On Amendments to the Tax Code of Ukraine for the Support of Non-Profit Organizations”, which would regulate the mechanisms of interest-based philanthropy.
Non-profit Ratings. The national rating “Charity Compass of Ukraine” is an open system of accounting for the activities of organizations, an opportunity to publicly confirm the transparency and accountability of activities and to show the effectiveness of work with the funds involved. Organizations involved in the “Charity Compass of Ukraine” rating, charitable organizations receive a “star” of trust from society for their further transparent and effective work, to increase public awareness of their activities and increase the financing of charitable projects. Our goal is to celebrate and inform society about public and effective Ukrainian practices of charitable activity.
Charity Compass of Ukraine rating aims to make impactful philanthropy easier for all by providing important information, ratings, and tools for donors and presenting charities with information that helps them operate more effectively. Charity Compass of Ukraine rating enables donors greater confidence in their giving decisions and highlights organizations doing important work throughout the world.
