The role played by philanthropy in times of humanitarian crisis is as much a demonstration of human ingenuity as it is one of care and solidarity. As in response to other devastating crises such as the Syrian civil war and the war in Afghanistan, Canadian philanthropy has quickly mobilized its efforts and resources to support Ukrainians affected by Russia’s illegal invasion.
The PhiLab team decided to compile a quick survey of the actions taken by the Canadian philanthropy in response to the war in Ukraine. This emergency special edition does not claim to represent the entirety of the actions taken, and instead presents a selection of initiatives. The objectives were to highlight the different action possibilities as well as to open up a public discussion to answer the question: what is the role of Canadian philanthropy during such a conflict?
We invite and encourage you to share your reflections on the subject with our team.
