How to attract additional funds for the development of education, science and culture in the Murmansk region? We discussed this with the general director of the Putnin Charitable Foundation, Oksana Orcheva.
Our institutions are already using the fund's capabilities. Murmansk Arctic University, for example, participates in a scholarship program. The Museum of Local History raises funds through the foundation's competitive programs.
We also discussed endowment funds - a tool for long-term support of universities, museums and other organizations. It is important to involve businesses and philanthropists in this work so that our institutions have more opportunities for development.
By the way, the Arctic Civil Forum is being held in Murmansk today. The participants also discuss how to combine the efforts of the state, businesses and public organizations to develop the region and implement initiatives that benefit the people.
