Association Konekt

We are Konekt, a leading civil society organization (CSO) founded in North Macedonia in 2008, with a mission to encourage and promote private giving and social responsibility, targeted at effective and long-term development. Our founders believe that North Macedonia and the region have the potential to grow through reliance on local resources and capacities. That is why we focus on encouraging and promoting a culture of individual and corporate philanthropy. We are building structural support for donation, social responsibility (CSR), ESG, and social entrepreneurship to drive sustainable development. We believe that philanthropy and social responsibility have the power to advance civil society and build inclusive and sustainable local communities with a better life for all. We achieve this through: Cultivating a strategically placed philanthropic culture – we promote private donations that help sustainable development and create solutions to problems, going one step ahead of humanitarian donations that mitigate the consequences. Creating infrastructure for giving to trustworthy, committed organizations and development initiatives that promote long-term partnerships and solutions. deliver support to companies in the development, implementation, and auditing of their philanthropy, CSR, and ESG strategies, and achieve a stronger impact.
