Representatives of territorial authorities, business and public meet informally in Krasnodar

An unusual action was arranged by two Krasnodar NGOs: the regional public organization "Caucasian Cultural and Economic Community" and the territorial public charitable foundation "Social Consciousness" with the assistance of the NGO "Southern Wave". Representatives of power structures, directors of business firms and industrial organizations, and NGO activists gathered at the restaurant "Krasnodar" to exchange opinions about possible ways of cooperation in an informal atmosphere. Mikhail Savva, grant program manager of the South Regional Resource Center, told about new grant competitions being launched. "Non-profit public organizations know a strategy of profitable charity. They will eagerly share their knowledge with businessmen," Mr. Savva said.
