Effective Philanthropy

The Effective Philanthropy charity program (the "Program") continues the activities of The Vladimir Potanin Foundation (the "Foundation") in developing charity, giving support to professionals and organizations of the nonprofit sector and volunteering, which it has been carrying out since its establishment in 1999. We support and spread the best practices, conduct educational events, and create conditions for the personal growth of the staff of nonprofit organizations.

We bring together those who are willing to go beyond the usual formats of activity, make their own decisions, develop cross-sector cooperation, and ensure the sustainability of outcomes. The joint initiatives of the Program participants are based on common principles and values. We create conditions for the spiritual development of the individual, the unlocking creativity, the development of creative thinking, expanding the possibilities of professional fulfillment and the building of partnerships, the searching, spreading, and scaling of successful experience.

The Program is based on the Foundation’s partnership with beneficiaries, volunteers, the Russian and international professional community.
