Partnership & Collaboration

Why this document exists

Clear partnership expectations protect participants, donors, and collaborators. We welcome mission-aligned cooperation that strengthens Ukraine’s next generation—without compromising safeguarding, transparency, or our nonprofit purpose as a U.S. 501(c)(3) public charity (EIN 93-1717971).

Who do we partner with?

• Universities, schools, and education networks
• Nonprofits and civil-society organizations in Ukraine, the U.S., and Europe
• Foundations, corporate sponsors, and philanthropic partners
• Mentors, subject-matter experts, and community leaders
• Media and communications partners covering our programs with accuracy and care

We do not enter partnerships that conflict with our mission, put young people at risk, or require political activity inconsistent with U.S. charity rules.

What principles guide collaboration?

• Mission alignment — work should serve Ukrainian youth and recovery
• Participant dignity — young people are partners, not props
• Transparency — roles, funding, and public claims stay clear
• Safeguarding — youth protection expectations apply to all partners
• Independence — Brave Generation retains control of its programs and brand

What kinds of collaboration do we consider?

• Program delivery support (mentorship, workshops, fellowships, internships)
• Co-branded events, convenings, or learning series
• Sponsored scholarships, travel, or program costs (with written terms)
• Research, evaluation, or storytelling that respects consent and privacy
• In-kind expertise, venues, technology, or professional services

Financial gifts are also welcome through our donate page and are governed by our Donor & Refund Policy.

How can you propose a partnership?

1. Email [email protected] with “Partnership” in the subject line
2. Introduce your organization and the collaboration you have in mind
3. Share timeline, resources, and who would be involved
4. Note any public communications or branding requests

We review proposals as capacity allows. A conversation does not create a binding agreement until terms are confirmed in writing when needed.

Branding and public communications

Use of the Brave Generation name, logo, or program marks requires prior written approval. Partners should not imply exclusive endorsement, joint ownership of our programs, or that we support activities outside the agreed collaboration.

Press or social posts that feature participants should respect privacy, consent, and our Safeguarding expectations.

Safeguarding and compliance

Anyone interacting with youth through a Brave Generation program or co-branded activity must follow our safeguarding expectations and applicable law. Concerns can be reported through Safeguarding or Complaints & Whistleblower.

Data shared for partnership operations is handled under our Privacy Policy. Website use remains subject to our Terms of Conditions.
