White Paper release announcement:
2X Giving: Impact Technology for Private Capital Mobilization | A Practical Guide.
On 15 September 2026, the Social Impact Alliance for Central & Eastern Europe has launched “2X Giving: Impact Technology for Private Capital Mobilization | A Practical Guide,” a new White Paper exploring how technology can help unlock the potential of individual giving across Central and Eastern Europe.
According to research on private capital mobilization in CEE, individual giving in the region could double — from EUR 2.7 billion to EUR 5.5 billion. The new White Paper examines the role technology can play in unlocking this potential.
Through desk research and interviews with CEE and global experts, the White Paper examines the region’s impact tech ecosystem, identifies key barriers to its growth, and develops practical recommendations for strengthening its potential. It looks particularly at how existing giving platforms and marketplaces can make giving easier, more informed and more trusted, helping people turn their willingness to give into action.
The White Paper was prepared by the Social Impact Alliance for CEE, with generous financial support from ERSTE Foundation and in partnership with GivingTuesday.
What’s inside the white paper?
- The role of technology in making giving easier, more informed and more trusted
- An overview of the CEE impact tech ecosystem
- Key barriers to the ecosystem’s development
- Potential levers for strengthening the ecosystem
- Three recommendations for collaboration and investment:
- CEE Impact Tech Alliance — bring together leading platforms
- Targeted Innovation Funding — create a dedicated innovation fund
- Open Tech Stack — develop open-source components
Why the white paper?
People who have resources and a willingness to contribute often lack the time, knowledge or trusted pathways to turn that intention into action. Technology can help remove these barriers. The opportunity is not simply to move more money, but to support higher-quality, more intentional engagement and strengthen the social impact ecosystem across CEE.
Launch events
The White Paper is being launched on 15 September 2026 at the Greater Giving Summit in Atlanta, Georgia (USA). The European launch will take place online on Thursday, September 24, from 3:00–4:00 pm CET / 9:00–10:00 am ET.
