Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund

Thank you for your generous donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Your donation has been making a difference for communities during the ongoing war in Ukraine and in countries that welcomed people who sought refuge. 

It’s already been more than 1.5 years since the start of the full-scale invasion, but the scope of the war’s damage and community needs remain great. We increasingly hear from our local nonprofit partners that they need support to continue responding and adapting, and it is crucial that donor support does not slow down. We had a chance to hear these reflections in person when members of GlobalGiving’s team visited Poland, Romania, and Slovakia. 

Since we last updated you, the fund has supported 47 high-impact nonprofit organizations responding to the crisis in Ukraine. As we continue to listen to our partners, support for these organizations includes both emergency and longer-term resources to address the widespread impact of the war in Ukraine and in neighboring countries. The grants we were able to provide with your support will continue to play a critical role for our partners in caring for children, the elderly, displaced families, people living with disabilities and chronic disease, and animals. They are also supporting activities geared toward a better future for Ukraine, including demining, digital fundraising trainings for nonprofits, social cohesion, and education.

Here is what one organization working in Moldova, Katalyst, wanted you to know about the impact of your donation: 

"Thank you again to GlobalGiving [and to all our donors]. Without your help, we’d probably still be three volunteers bouncing around in an old van, trying to make a difference...[now] we operate the largest food bank in the capital of Moldova, serving thousands of families every week." - Katalyst 

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

• NEXT Youth Charitable Foundation is a Ukrainian organization supporting internally displaced families in two social centers in the Odesa region. This includes art therapy and psychological support for children while their parents are at work. People also receive humanitarian aid or a legal consultation at these centers. 

• Stowarzyszenie WIOSNA is a Polish partner we visited earlier this year, which continues to support refugee families in difficult financial situations. The organization provides tailored and integrated aid in Poland and emergency relief packages on both sides of the Polish-Ukrainian border. The team also provides long-term support for Ukrainians in Poland, such as help finding housing and educational courses. 

• Tvoya Opora is a Ukrainian organization running one of the largest temporary shelters for internally displaced people in the western city of Lviv. They also provide holistic support in the shelter, such as education, entertainment, and psychosocial support. This nonprofit team continuously partners with local hospitals to provide medical care to the people most in need. 

• The HALO Trust continues to educate thousands of Ukrainians on how to stay safe from dangerous and often hidden explosives. The organization’s activities focus on the removal and destruction of dangerous explosives littering streets, roads, gardens, fields, and buildings as well as mapping safe passage for other humanitarian organizations delivering aid.

• OurLoop Stichting is working in Ukraine and Poland to strengthen the feedback loop in this response. Their work facilitates safe, independent feedback and a reporting platform for people affected by the Ukraine crisis. OurLoop Stichting is also focusing on tailoring services for historically marginalized communities, such as Roma and the elderly.

Your support for the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund powers community-led responses to the critical needs in Ukraine and neighboring communities that are helping refugees. Thank you. 

My personal reflection from Kyiv is that the ongoing war affects every Ukrainian, the country’s ecosystem, and the chance for future generations to live in peace in their homeland. Living in Ukraine teaches one to appreciate each day, especially as communities experience air raids, massive drone attacks, fear of nuclear and ecological threats, and displacement and separation from loved ones. 

Thanks to your generosity, we will continue to support our partners in the days and years to come. 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 warm gratitude, 

Yuliya + the GlobalGiving Team
