About the Platform

The organisation behind the platform
About the International Agency of Change
The organisation’s mission is to promote community development through social cohesion and social impact, helping young people and local communities improve their quality of life.
The International Agency of Change (IAC) was established in 2016, bringing together over 18 years of combined expertise in human and social capital development, civic education, capacity building, social entrepreneurship, social inclusion and protection, decentralisation and local development, regional cooperation and youth engagement in Ukraine.
Areas of activity
01
Community development through social cohesion
We run projects that help communities become stronger, more cohesive and safer, through education, support for local initiatives and community development.
02
Social entrepreneurship and impact business
We teach how to build a business with social meaning. We run the “Impactpreneurship” programmes, provide grants and subgranting, hold conferences and publish success stories on the “Impactpreneurship Code” YouTube channel.
03
Civic education and fundraising
Through the “Fundraiser” learning platform we teach NGOs and initiative groups to attract resources, write grants and build transparent structures. It hosts the “Fundraiser”, “ImpactCheck” and “Policies and procedures” courses and special programmes for IDPs and people with disabilities.
04
Support for vulnerable groups
We develop tools and support programmes for internally displaced persons, people with disabilities and other vulnerable groups, so that everyone has equal access to development and self-realisation.
05
Organisational development of civic initiatives
We build NGO capacity through consulting, training, capacity building and partnership. We help organisations be strong, transparent and effective.
06
Educational games and learning innovation
We create tools that make learning engaging and accessible. For example, our “Funds Hunter™” fundraising board game is not just a game but hands-on experience in attracting resources.
07
Youth leadership and participation
We involve young people in public processes and teach them to be agents of change in their communities.
The FUNdraiser platform is created by the NGO “International Agency of Change”, founded in 2016.
