GIVE THE GIFT OF
CONNECTION
Conversations change lives. ENGin is an independent, grassroots nonprofit powered almost entirely by people like you — volunteers, believers, and friends of Ukraine who know that connection is one of the most powerful things one human being can give another.
When you join Conversation Starters, you become part of an inner circle of supporters who make ENGin's work possible every single day.
A MONTHLY GIFT OF $15
covers the full cost of matching one Ukrainian participant with a dedicated English-speaking volunteer — bringing the magic of ENGin to 12 Ukrainians over the course of a year. That's 12 people building confidence, opportunity, and connection — because of you.
Monthly giving is the backbone of everything we do. When donors commit to giving month after month, we can plan ahead, take on more students, and focus on our mission instead of worrying about where the next dollar is coming from. Predictable, recurring revenue means fewer resources spent on fundraising and more Ukrainians breaking language barriers and opening their worlds with ENGin volunteers.
AS A CONVERSATION STARTER,
YOU'LL RECEIVE:
Early-bird access to special events with Ukrainian experts from a variety of fields
Complimentary ENGin digital badge (pending completion of 25 volunteer hours)
An annual gift from Ukraine (for members supporting 4 or more students/month)
BECOME A CONVERSATION STARTER
Donations are fully tax-deductible for donors in the US (tax ID 88-3527494).

LEGACY GIFTS
When you include ENGin in your planned giving, you give the power of conversation and connection to a new generation — allowing future volunteers and their buddies to enjoy the rewards of creating meaningful connections across borders.
By including ENGin in your will or estate plan, you ensure that your values and commitment to our important mission will continue to inspire and transform lives long into the future.
Every legacy gift, no matter the size, makes a meaningful difference. Your legacy starts today, no matter the format you choose: a simple bequest, inclusion of ENGin as a beneficiary in a Charitable Trust, or in a life insurance policy. Your legacy gift can also be made through instructions to a donor-advised charitable fund.
Please reach out to Katerina Manoff at katerina@enginprogram.org with any questions regarding legacy giving. If you have already included a gift for ENGin in your estate plans, please let us know about it so that we may best honor your wishes!
EMPLOYER GIVING
Did you know that one of the easiest and most impactful ways to support ENGin is tapping into your employer's corporate giving programs? In 2025, we received funds from 35+ companies, ranging from $5 - $10,000. Each of these contributions was sparked by a volunteer reaching out to their employer.
Here are 5 ways you can help us receive funding from your employer - most without spending a single dollar of your own money! If you are currently working, please take a minute to reach out to your firm's HR, CSR, or employee engagement team to see which options may be open to you.
VOLUNTEER HOURS MATCHING
Some companies make a donation to a nonprofit for every hour you volunteer (usually between $10-$25/hour). All you need to do is log your volunteer hours on your corporate portal - ENGin Inc, EIN 88-3527494 - and ENGin will receive a donation.
GRANTS
Some companies allow employees to nominate a nonprofit to receive a grant. The application form is usually very short and simple, and grants might range from $500-$2500 or higher. Our volunteers have successfully nominated us for small corporate grants targeted towards education, DEI, and female empowerment.
DONATION MATCHING
Some companies will match donations you make to a nonprofit - a few will even provide a double match. So, for instance, if you donate $50 to ENGin, the company may provide another $50 or even $100.
EMPLOYEE GIVING CAMPAIGNS
Some companies run a charitable giving campaign through which employees can donate to the charity of their choice. You can approach whoever is in charge of administering the campaign at your company to request that ENGin appear as a featured giving or volunteer opportunity.
RUNNING A FUNDRAISER
Some companies allow employees to set up a fundraiser and promote a cause they care about to their department or the entire organization to raise funds from their colleagues.
