Democracy Defying Darkness
Countering Authoritarianism
KoneKtor - Philanthropy East Forum
KoneKtor 2026 will take place in Chișinău on 14-16 October. Authoritarianism is taking new shapes, civic space is shrinking, and communities face mounting pressures. The philanthropic sector has a critical role to play in responding, protecting vulnerable groups, supporting independent media and culture, and building networks of resilience.
Konektor 2026 will bring together foundations, donors, and civil society to examine these urgent challenges. It will explore what authoritarianism looks like today, identify who is most at risk, and highlight what philanthropy is doing, and can do, across sectors including digital safety, climate, culture, and media.
KoneKtor 2026 is organised with the support of Caritas Moldova.
