Back in 2014, the 27th of February became a historic day for the NGO community worldwide. This international calendar day, now known as "World NGO day," was inaugurated for the first time internationally.

World NGO Day is celebrated in more than 89 countries and over six continents.

The 27th of February, World NGO day, was born in the European Union, the brainchild of young philanthropist Marcis Liors Skadmanis.
World NGO Day was officially recognised in 2010 and adopted into the X Baltic Sea NGO Forum's Final Statement Resolution on the 23rd-25th of April 2012 in Berlin, part of the German CBSS Presidency.
