KIIND: A Simple Act of Giving
KIIND: A Simple Act of Giving
In partnership with MPW
Hosted & Curated by Tanya Hadzhieva
This February, shortly after Valentine’s Day, KIIND invites you to an exclusive evening for business leaders who see social impact not as a “nice to have”, but as a strategic business function.
Bringing together SME founders, corporate leaders, investors, and CSR / ESG decision-makers, the evening explores how giving — when designed simply, credibly, and strategically — can strengthen organisations while delivering meaningful social impact.
Hosted and curated by Tanya Hadzhieva in partnership with MPW, this event is designed for organisations navigating increasing pressure around trust, accountability, and impact, as well as charities working with businesses to deliver aligned, practical social outcomes across sectors and communities.

As Valentine’s Day approaches, this evening is a reminder that giving — when done simply and strategically — can create lasting value for businesses, communities, and society.
