About IDC

Innovation and Development Center (IDC), a Kyiv-based nonprofit group encompassing a civic organization (founded in 1996) and an international charitable fund (founded in 2001). Since its inception, the IDC has successfully implemented a number of ongoing programs, well received by both its funding organizations and the local NGO (non-government organization) community. Programs offered by the IDC have been supported financially by the Mott Foundation, the International Renaissance Foundation, the Open Society Institute, United Nations Development Program, various foreign technical assistance programs (U.S. Department of State Democracy Fund, the Dutch Embassy's MATRA Program, Canadian Embassy in Ukraine), and from companies such as Phillip Morris, Coca-Cola, Citibank, Proctor & Gamble, and other. Within the local Ukrainian community, the IDC's programs continue to receive continuing support - both financial and collaborative - from a variety of Ukrainian NGOs, universities, and companies.

IDC Resources for NGOs

The IDC has evolved into one of the leading resources for NGO management. To begin with, the IDC maintains the most comprehensive, up-to-date listing of NGOs in Ukraine, with over 40,000 entries of Ukrainian NGOs nationwide, both charitable and civic organizations. Additionally, the organization publishes Crossroads magazine, a bimonthly periodical analyzing the not-for-profit sector and highlighting best practices in NGO management, available to member NGOs for a subsidized subscription price. A supplement to Crossroads, NPO Accountant focuses on unraveling intricate tax regulations. Also, the IDC regularly authors a number of publications: research papers analyzing the implications of the latest government legislation on Ukrainian Third Sector development, books on current topics in NGO management (financial management, marketing, donor relations - some of its recent publications include Principles of NGO Legislation, Taxation of NPOs in Ukraine, Legal Provisions and Norms for NPO Activities in Ukraine, and Accounting at NPOs: New Standards - New Opportunities), and donors and NGO directories (both in English and in Ukrainian) to assist in securing grants and forming partnerships. Approximately 2200 Ukrainian non-profit organizations receive the IDC's publications on a regular basis. Finally, in addition to disseminating valuable publications, the Center offers consulting services to NGOs and charity foundations in Ukraine, organizes seminars for NPO (not-for-profit organization) accountants and executives, and researches the latest developments and problems of Ukraine's third sector.

The IDC also aims to bring management expertise from the for-profit sector to encourage NGO's to see themselves as potential legal entities operating in the market economy.
