About Olga Alexeeva
Olga Alexeeva died suddenly and unexpectedly just over a year ago, on 20 July 2011. Olga was only 42. She had recently left Charities Aid Foundation to set up the Philanthropy Bridge Foundation, whose goal was to build meaningful connections, partnerships and, most importantly, trust between philanthropists looking to give and individuals and institutions looking to ‘do’ in developing and emerging market countries around the world. Underpinning this was Olga’s unswerving belief that philanthropy should and could be about making the world a better and fairer place, and that the best solutions invariably appearwhen initiative and inspiration emerge out of the local context rather than being imported from outside. This prize is in honour of her memory and beliefs.
