Thank you for your generous donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund have been making a difference since the latest Russian invasion of Ukraine earlier this year, helping nonprofit organizations save lives and strengthen their resilience.

Over the past two months, donations to the fund have supported grants to 18 high-impact nonprofit organizations responding to urgent needs on the front lines of this crisis. The organizations are also providing longer-term community support, including preparing for a difficult winter and responding in recently de-occupied areas of Ukraine. Winter is always harsh in the region, but with recent attacks on electricity and other critical infrastructure, and millions displaced by the war, your support is all the more critical. 

Here is what one rescue-focused organization working in Ukraine told us: 

"GlobalGiving’s [grant] comes in just as my team has been trying to figure out how to keep our efforts going and accelerate through the long winter. We know how critical support will be in the coming months when many are pulling back because public donations and interest have waned." Randi, Kidsave International

Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported: 

  • Food for Life Ukraine provides hot meals for communities across Ukraine, with special attention to dietary and cultural preferences. This is critically important as the recent increase in military strikes leaves millions of Ukrainians without electricity to cook.
  • Global Fund for Children is dedicated to supporting grassroots organizations that empower children and youth, including in Ukraine and Poland. The organization is supporting humanitarian needs during winter and activities focused on educational and psychosocial support for children affected by conflict.

  • Hungarian Helsinki Committee is assisting people fleeing from Ukraine in Hungary by providing free legal assistance and accessible information for refugees and other displaced persons.

  • Center Corporate Social Responsibility Development promotes the principles of sustainable business and social responsibility in Ukraine. The organization is establishing hubs in support of women entrepreneurs in Ukraine who are facing particular challenges as military conscription for men has forced families to make difficult decisions about child care and livelihoods. 

Your support for the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund powers community-led responses, and it means war-torn parts of Ukraine and refugees in the region get the critical resources they need to help their community recover and rebuild. Thank you for your support for the future of Ukrainians. You can find a full list of nonprofit partners that recently received grants from the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund at the end of this report.

With gratitude,

Sarah + the GlobalGiving team

About GlobalGiving’s Disaster Response

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.

We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.

They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
