The magazine was established as part of a project of the Local Government and Public Service Reform Initiatives affiliated with Open Society Institute. Preparation and publication of the magazine was made possible by the generous support of the Ch.S.Mott Foundation and Eurasia Foundation.

To receive the third issue, as well as previous ones, the IDC requests organizations and individuals to send postal stamps which will cover mailing costs of the materials (Four Hryvnia per each copy of the magazine).

The IDC would appreciate any donations, which will be used to support additional publications dedicated to Ukrainian NGOs, and helping them in the areas of management, strategic planning, sponsor involvement, communication, fund raising etc.
