2025 World NGO Day: Statement by the EEAS Secretary General Belén Martínez Carbonell https://lnkd.in/g_CbZn2S #worldngoday #ngoday
World NGO Day
International Affairs
World NGO Day is an international calendar day annually observed on the 27th of February.
About us
Back in 2014, the 27th of February became a historic day for the NGO (non-profit) community across the globe. We dreamed big and we achieved it! The only decentralized international day for NGOs, “World NGO Day - 27th February”, was inaugurated. Throughout the years, millions of people have been active on World NGO Day in more than 89 countries and 6 continents. To date, it’s the only decentralized international day that celebrates the work of over 10 million NGOs (non-profit) worldwide! This represents more than 50 million people who work for the global non-profit sector as well as all the volunteers and philanthropists who are the backbone of our global community. “Around the world, non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs) are at the forefront supporting those who are most in need. They are at frontline delivering humanitarian relief, documenting human rights abuses and violations, and advocating for climate justice and gender equality.” Stated on the 27th February 2023 by The Honourable Josep Borrell, High Representative Of The European Union For Foreign Affairs And Security Policy & Vice-president Of The European Commission. “On World NGO Day, we honour the remarkable dedication and resilience of workers in international development and humanitarian assistance. These often-unsung heroes are committed to reaching vulnerable and marginalized people with responsive, inclusive and life-changing assistance.” Stated on the 27th February 2023 by The Honourable Harjit S. Sajjan, Minister of International Development & Minister responsible for the Pacific Economic Development Agency of Canada. “On World NGO Day, I thank all local NGOs as key partners of the Government in initiating and implementing programmes in local communities that ensure no one is left behind.” Stated on the 27th February 2023 by The Honourable Lindiwe Daphney Zulu, Minister of Social Development of South Africa.

On today's #WorldNGODay 🌍 I want to spotlight an exciting conversation I had on opportunities of Crypto currencies for NGOs - with Marcis Skadmanis, the founder of Welttag der NRO. Crypto philanthropy is a rapidly growing space, and nonprofits can truly benefit from understanding its potential. We explored a topic that could redefine nonprofit fundraising: Crypto Philanthropy. 🚀💰 💡 Can charities accept cryptocurrencies? 💡 Why should NGOs consider crypto donations? 💡 Which funding platforms already support crypto donations? 💡 How can nonprofits leverage NFTs for micro-donations? With blockchain technology creating new opportunities for transparency and global giving, crypto donations are becoming a game-changer for nonprofits. We discussed how organizations can start accepting crypto, increase their donor base, and maximize impact. This is a conversation NGOs and fundraisers can’t afford to miss! Stay tuned for more insights—or reach out if you're interested in learning how nonprofits can tap into this growing trend. 👉 You find the link to the podcast here: https://lnkd.in/eq-tb-jZ 💬 What’s your take on crypto donations for charities? Have you seen NGOs successfully implement them? Let’s discuss in the comments! ⬇️ #WorldNGODay #CryptoPhilanthropy #NonprofitInnovation #BlockchainForGood #Fundraising #NGO #Cryptocurrency #NFTsForGood

Once again, I am deeply moved and grateful to all the volunteers and supporters who have helped develop World NGO Day. I am especially thankful to Kristīne Zonberga (Director of Civic Alliance-Latvia), exMP Mārtiņš Šteins, MP Rasima Leila, MP Jānis Grasbergs, MP Zanda Kalniņa-Lukaševica, MP Edvards Smiltēns, MP Antoņina Ņenaševa, MP Daiga Mieriņa and to all Latvian MPs who voted “73 - Yes” to make World NGO Day an official awareness day in Latvia. 11 yrs ago, I could not have imagined that, on this very date, World NGO Day would be protected by law and become a national symbol for civil society in Latvia. #WorldNGODay

Today was a very special day—from speaking at the largest World NGO Day event in Pakistan to witnessing World NGO Day becoming an official awareness day in my home country - Latvia, and meeting amazing Members of Parliament.

🌍✨ Celebrating World NGO Day! ✨🌍 Today, on #WorldNGOday, we join the global community in honoring the over 10 million nonprofits working tirelessly to make the world a better place. This year’s theme, “Empowering Grassroots Movements for a Sustainable Future,”resonates deeply with our mission at Babies and Mothers Alive - where we believe that change starts at the community level. From our Mama and Papa Ambassadors to Mama Rescue, we work hand in hand with communities in Uganda to ensure that mothers and newborns receive the care they deserve. Through education, advocacy, and access to healthcare, we are building a future where no woman has to risk her life giving birth. As John Lewis once said: 💬 “If you come together with a mission, and it's grounded with love and a sense of community, you can make the impossible possible.” To all the NGOs and changemakers around the world—thank you for your dedication, passion, and unwavering commitment to making an impact! 🩷 #WorldNGODay #GrassrootsImpact #BabiesAndMothersAlive #SustainableChange #CommunityHealth #SDGs #Uganda

🌍 World NGO Day 2025 | Empowering Grassroots for a Sustainable Future 🌱 Change begins in communities—with their voices, their resilience, and their solutions. When people take the lead in shaping their own future, progress becomes sustainable. This is why working with communities, amplifying their leadership, and fostering collaborative solutions is essential for real impact. On #WorldNGODay, we celebrate the unwavering spirit of those at the grassroots—health workers, educators, youth leaders, and changemakers—who are transforming lives every day. Their leadership is shaping a future that is inclusive, sustainable, and driven by the people. 💙 #EmpoweringCommunities #SustainableImpact #GrassrootsChange #PiramalFoundation
