Eastern European Fundraising Consultants

Civil Society in Central and Eastern Europe has evolved rapidly over the past 20 years.

High-net-worth individuals (HNWIs) are on the rise, as is the emphasis on Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles.

Leading tech companies, such as Google, have established operations in the region, including a $2 billion investment in Poland. Major investment banks also operate back-office functions in Central Europe, signaling the region’s stability and potential for investment.

Addressing Persistent Challenges

Despite narrowing poverty disparities between Eastern and Western Europe, significant challenges remain.

• Relative Poverty: Across the EU, 1 in 4 individuals faces relative poverty, compounded in Central and Eastern Europe by weaker social security systems.
• Welfare Gaps: Major issues persist concerning the rights and welfare of women and children, particularly within minority groups.
• Impact of the War in Ukraine: The conflict has exacerbated existing socio-economic problems across the region.

Eastern Europe faces pressing environmental challenges. Governments, the European Commission, and NGOs are collaborating on initiatives to:

• Cut CO2 emissions

• Protect forests and wildlife

At ASI, we are passionate about supporting cross-border conservation projects and addressing environmental racism.
