It is hard to believe that the war in Ukraine has raged on for six months. GlobalGiving created the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund days before Russia officially launched its invasion in February. At the time, our partners in Ukraine were already telling us that their communities were anxious and preparing for difficult days ahead.

As we continue to listen to our partners, they are sharing the worries they have for themselves and their families as the war drags on. They are worries like: “Funding has gone down—how can we keep supporting our people and our animals?” “The school year is starting, but where can we send our children safely and comfortably?” “The winter is coming, and we don’t know where we can stay.”

In six months, the war has resulted in several troubling records, including the largest and fastest displacement crisis in Europe since World War II, and the largest global fuel and energy crisis in decades.

But we have also seen record levels of generosity and incredible solidarity with the Ukrainian people. The Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund has been GlobalGiving’s largest fundraiser in its 20-year history. As a supporter of this fund, you are playing an important role in providing a lifeline to Ukrainians and addressing their long-term needs.

In our latest grant round, GlobalGiving sent an additional US$1.9 million to 33 vetted nonprofit partners helping the Ukrainian people in Ukraine, Poland, Romania, Italy, and other countries. In addition to immediate life-saving aid, we’re also supporting two of our long-established Ukrainian partners focusing on longer-term community recovery activities. This is our sixth round of grants in our long-term response, with more support to come as needs grow and evolve.

Below is a short description of the humanitarian relief and recovery support you have powered with your donation:

Nezabutni Charitable Foundation is the first organization in Ukraine that focuses on caring for people with dementia and their families. Since the war broke out, they have supported patients with transport and evacuations, provided access to medicines, and coordinated accommodation and care resources. The organization is on a mission to transform the way dementia is addressed in the long term.
Federacja Polskich Bankow Zywnosci (Federation of Polish Food Banks) is committed to serving Ukrainian refugees and other people who don’t have reliable access to food in Poland. They’ve already supported more than 300,000 refugees. As food prices have skyrocketed and people’s incomes have dropped, the food banks rescue food, collect donations, and provide food aid to people in need.
Nova Ukraine provides humanitarian aid to communities and individuals in Ukraine and raises awareness about Ukraine in the US and globally. The foundation is supporting Ukrainian organizations and initiatives, including evacuations that become necessary as the conflict lines shift and disrupt access to food and medicine throughout the country.
The Zagoriy Foundation supports civil society organizations vital to communities across Ukraine. They provide organizations in their network with resources, including opportunities to increase their professional knowledge and skills, network and build partnerships, and access mental health services.

Thank you for standing with the people of Ukraine. You, and so many others in the GlobalGiving community, have stepped up to support people going through an unimaginable situation for the past six months. Our partners in Ukraine and the region are grateful for the ongoing support as they provide relief and assistance for families and individuals affected by the war. Together, we will continue to stand with them, and we will continue to inform you about how your support is making an impact.

With immense gratitude,

Sarah + the GlobalGiving team

An update on your donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund

By Sandrina da Cruz | Director of Disaster Response

Tragically, the latest war in Ukraine is approaching its fourth month. Details of the casualties, human rights violations, and humanitarian impacts of this violent conflict continue to flood the news and social media. Our collective heart breaks as we learn that 16 million people need humanitarian assistance.

Among those millions are a young mother of three, a loving grandfather physically unable to leave his home with his family to seek safety, and a boy undergoing chemotherapy with the sound of sirens in the background.

Throughout these long and arduous months, your generosity and words of support provide much needed reassurance to the courageous local leaders on the front lines of this war. My team hears firsthand about their steadfast optimism and incredible resilience. And we hear that they are grateful to you.

In our largest grant round yet, GlobalGiving this week sent an additional US$3 million to 55 vetted nonprofit partner organizations helping people in Ukraine and welcoming refugees in Albania, Hungary, Moldova, Poland, Romania, and other countries in the region. This is our fifth round of emergency grants in our long-term response, with more support to come as needs grow and evolve.

Below is a short description of some of the humanitarian relief and long-term support you have powered with your donation:

Legal Development Network launched #StandWithUkraine, which is working in collaboration with 15 organizations in different regions of Ukraine and serving 200,000 people monthly. They provide relocation services for families to relatively safe areas of central and western Ukraine. They also aggregate and disseminate information about legal services and access to humanitarian aid, including mental health and counseling. Their teams support the humanitarian center in Kyiv, which provides food, water, clothing, footwear, and medicines for city residents.

Fundacja Koalicja Dla Mlodych (Coalition for Youth Foundation) focuses on supporting refugees in Poland. Working with more than 200 volunteers, they manage the largest warehouse in the region with essentials like food, hygiene products, clothes, and medical supplies. In addition to meeting basic needs, they also coordinate with local authorities, companies, and schools to help refugees safely relocate to other regions in Poland and find shelter and jobs. The coalition covers the cost of school starter kits and meals for kids and also coordinates deliveries of emergency supplies to their partner organization working in the Ukrainian town of Biaobrzegi.

Fuel Relief Fund is distributing fuel to power generators and humanitarian fleets across Ukraine. With their GlobalGiving grant, FRF is focusing on fuel delivery to local organizations providing critical humanitarian assistance and to civilians impacted by the ongoing conflict.

Since the Russian invasion started, your donation has helped provide urgent relief to individuals and families in Ukraine and in countries across the region. In the months and years ahead, GlobalGiving will continue to work closely with vetted nonprofits on the ground delivering humanitarian aid and longer-term support for these communities to rebuild. Thank you for supporting these efforts. We will inform you about how your donation continues to make a difference for individuals and families affected by the war in Ukraine.

With immense gratitude,

An update on your donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund

It’s been 72 days since the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine unleashed a devastating war and forced more than 12 million people to leave their homes and seek safety. Most of them are women and children, and all of them are experiencing the effects of this war. During this time, you have stood with the Ukrainian people and provided critical support through your generous donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Thank you.

In the past three weeks, GlobalGiving sent an additional US$2.8 million to 46 vetted nonprofit partner organizations helping people in Ukraine and refugees fleeing to other countries in the region. This is our fourth round of emergency grants in our long-term response, with more to come as needs change and emerge.

Below is a short description of some of the humanitarian relief and long-term support you have powered with your donation:

Bright Kids Charity is distributing cash, food, and other emergency supplies and providing medical treatment for children with disabilities and their families. They’re focused on low-income families and single mothers who do not have the means to evacuate and are forced to shelter in their homes.
The International Charitable Foundation Social Projects Center of Future is delivering meals, hygiene kits, and medical supplies across different shelters in Ukraine. They’re supporting an early childhood center that has become a temporary shelter for women with children under 4 years old who have escaped active combat zones. They’re also providing flea treatments and other supplies for pets in these shelters.
Fundacja Centrum Praw Kobiet (Women's Rights Center) operates a helpline and offers other psycho-social support services by connecting mental health professionals fluent in Ukrainian with women and children arriving in Poland.

We are grateful for your donation to help Ukrainians suffering in this war. You are part of a caring community of donors from 147 countries. As the war continues, we remain committed to providing humanitarian relief and long-term support through the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. We will keep you informed about how your donation is funding nonprofits delivering emergency relief and helping Ukrainians provide for their families and rebuild their lives in the months and years to come.
