Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund

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
