On June 5, 2025, one of the most significant events for the civil sector took place in Sofia - the first international fundraising conference of its kind in our country, organized by Bulgarian Center for Nonprofit Law in partnership with European Fundraising Association (EFA).

The event gathered over 200 participants, 30 inspiring speakers from almost 10 countries, 11 practical sessions and countless new ideas for sustainable development of causes. The conference proved that #Mission Possible, even in challenging times.

A meeting of a community that creates the future

Representatives of civil society organizations, activists, donors and experts exchanged experiences, inspiration and valuable practices. It felt the energy of dedication, shared goals and the belief that every cause has its own path to realizationwhen people unite.

For the team of the For Good Foundation, participating in this event was extremely motivating. We met like-minded people, made new acquaintances, and came back with ideas to implement in our work.

What did we learn?

  • Fundraising is an act of faith and courage, not just a fundraising process.

  • Activism is a driver, but precisely hope is what connects and sustains us.

  • "Deeds are needed, not words" – inspired by Levski's words, we believe in the power of concrete actions.
