Charities Aid Foundation – United Kingdom
Since 2021, RACI has been strengthening its partnerships with the Charities Aid Foundation (CAF), becoming allies with the foundation’s U.S. branch to channel donations to Argentine organizations. In this way, members of our network can receive foreign donations through this channel.
On this occasion, we are expanding our alliance with CAF UK. From June 5th to 8th, Mariana Agnolin, Director of Programs at RACI, participated in the Leadership Conference organized with the aim of introducing new civil society organizations from different regions to the work of the Foundation and joining CAF UK’s network.
During the various sessions, led by CAF UK President Neil Heslop OBE and Derek Ray-Hill, Director of International Strategy, and co-hosted by Jessie Kraft, Senior Vice President of External Affairs at CAF America, plenaries and workshops were conducted, addressing topics of global concern to civil society such as New Localization Strategies, Relief, Resilience, Disaster Recovery, and Advocacy Campaigns.
Additionally, together with CAF UK, a meeting was held with the Argentine ambassador to the United Kingdom and the Cultural Attaché to promote the work of our members among potential donors in the UK.
