SUMMARY:On Exhibit: "When Minnesota Fed the Children of Europe"
DESCRIPTION:A special exhibit at MSP Airport notes the contributions of Minnesota to hunger relief in Europe during and after World War I. The exhibit is available for viewing into fall of 2021. \nDuring World War I\, many people in Europe faced starvation due to the German occupation and British blockade. In response\, a Commission for Relief in Belgium was created to help feed children and mothers in Belgium and northern France. More than half of the food aid that went to Europe was wheat and wheat flour\, much of it coming from the farmers and flour mills of Minnesota. This hunger relief effort became one of the largest humanitarian efforts in history\, feeding more than 150 million Europeans from France to Russia between 1914 and 1923. \nChildren from Belgium sent letters of gratitude to American children. A selection of these letters has been translated and used to create a powerful exhibit shown across the United States. \nPresented in partnership with the Consulate General of Belgium in New York City\, the Embassy of Belgium\, the French American Chamber of Commerce of Minnesota\, the Mall of America\, Wafels & Dinges\, and Wallonia-Brussels International (WBI). \n

SUMMARY:SDG Roundtable: Fall 2021
DESCRIPTION:The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a United Nations plan to build a better world for people and our planet by 2030. These goals recognize that ending poverty must go hand-in-hand with strategies that build economic growth\, address social needs such as education\, health\, and equality\, and tackle climate challenges by working to preserve oceans and forests. \nHear from Nicholas S. Deychakiwsky\, Senior Program Officer in Civil Society at the Mott Foundation\, as he discusses why a large\, private philanthropic organization such as the Mott Foundation believes that the SDGs have relevance to its local partnerships and how using the SDGs in their work advances their mission to achieve a just\, equitable\, and sustainable society. \n \nAbout the Speaker\nNick Deychakiwsky is a Senior Program Officer at the Mott Foundation working in two Civil Society program areas: Enhancing Community Philanthropy and Strengthening Civic Space. In late 1990\, Deychakiwsky moved to Ukraine\, where he worked in various roles supporting democratic and economic reform before joining the Mott Foundation in 2000. Working in the Foundation’s former Prague office\, he was responsible for grantmaking in Russia\, Ukraine\, Belarus and Moldova until late 2006. He subsequently managed U.S. and global nonprofit/philanthropic sector infrastructure and community philanthropy grantmaking. Since 2016\, Deychakiwsky has served as a board member for the United Philanthropy Forum. Deychakiwsky earned a Master of Business Administration from Columbia University and worked for Mobil Oil as a supply analyst before returning to school to study music and obtain a master’s degree in choral conducting. \nPresented in partnership with the Charles Stewart Mott Foundation. \nIf you are registering for this event from outside the United States\, please go here.
