Dear colleagues,
We are reaching out to you with an urgent invitation to support the European banks for Ukraine solidarity campaign launched today. We are aware and appreciate that your members may already have done a lot, but the simple reality is that much more help is urgently needed.
This initiative by the European Banking Federation (EBF) together with the Polish Bank Association and the Hungarian Banking Association aims to mobilize further donations from banks to where they are needed most: to local NGOs operating in countries neighboring Ukraine. You can help us promote the initiative to European banks by taking two simple steps:
- Invite your member banks to join the solidarity initiative using the fundraising kit, which includes clear instructions and a template invitation to the banks in your country.
- Use our campaign banner (also provided in the fundraising kit) throughout your organization in all your e-mails to promote the initiative and encourage donations from banks and other stakeholders.
We know that these are turbulent times and that many of you are already under tremendous pressure. For this reason, we appreciate any effort you can make to support this initiative even more.
Let us know how our team in Brussels can help with the implementation, we will be happy to assist you in any way we can.
Best regards,
Wim Mijs
CEO
