Our Charity Foundation Democratic Society works under the slogan: Support the media .
All these years, our team has been working to make Ukrainian mass media "healthy" - professional, ethical and capable. That is why the media team of the Charitable Organization "Charitable Foundation "Democratic Society" always asks to support the Ukrainian media with donations - this will be the best gift for us. After all, the capacity of the media is often measured in their financial capabilities.
We invite all those willing to join the development of Ukrainian media to support them financially and informationally.
How can I join the campaign?
- Transfer any amount to your favorite media one time or subscribe to a monthly donation.
- Tell your friends about it and invite them to join.
Our media works so that you are the first to receive quality news, exclusive analytics and socially important special projects.
To become our friends is to contribute to the development of the media so that editorial teams produce even more interesting and useful materials.
Thank you GlobalGiving for being with us! Our media, including "Ukrainian Youth", is a meeting place for passionate people - those who believe that the media should be of high quality: professional, truthful and transparent.
Our editorial office has been enlivening Ukrainian media for dozens of years. We guarantee high quality content and adhere to professional and ethical standards so that the information the audience receives is true and complete. We expose manipulations and fakes. Our volunteers also defend the right of journalists to access information and help protect the interests of the media community in the event that freedom of speech is under pressure.
We promote the development of critical thinking of Ukrainian citizens.
In the conditions of the war, as expected, our publication was left without advertising, and our employees, accordingly, without money. Many journalists with families, with children and old parents are completely without means of subsistence.
But they continue to work around the clock, preparing reports from war-torn cities, checking facts dozens of times and providing you with important and truthful information.
If donors have the opportunity to help our journalists, who work in an intensified mode, with money for food, payment for the Internet, communication. We are grateful for every grant.
How to support the media
Support independent journalism.
Help local media to create even more quality materials.
Thanks to your support, we continue to be independent.
Our journalists write about people, success stories, we refute myths.
We talk about situations during the war, global and local businesses, institutions, events and life.
We are read by thoughtful, active and modern people who long for changes and are ready to implement these changes
In our materials, we always tell people's stories. And through them we get to know the situation in Ukraine; ideas; local products; people who implement ideas, create businesses and cultural projects.
We are forming around us a community of thoughtful people who are eager for changes in the country and are ready to implement these changes.
Why did we launch reader support?
Over the years of the existence of our media, we have already formed a community around the publication, we maintain close contact with our readers both online and offline, through cooperation and joint coordination of actions, we influence the development of society.
Because our newspapers have always been, are and will be independent media that do not seek support from any politician or political force, we work for our readers through grant programs and advertising. However, in those turbulent times, which all Ukrainians have to live through, it becomes quite difficult to predict and plan in advance the first or the second.
The goal: to attract donor support for the sustainable existence of our media.
We constantly want to become better. Proofread texts more carefully. Search for more musicians, directors and writers. Make more news. Write more reviews. Tell more stories.
For this we involve people.
"Ukrainian Youth" is a completely independent media, created and developed by enthusiasts who care about Ukrainian life.
We desperately need support from donors. First, it allows us to exist. Secondly, it is a sign that readers like our work. And it is very important to us.

Funding provides to our media organizations that conduct training on journalism.
There is a war going on now.
Charity Foundation Democratic Society promotes independent journalism and helps our media create more insightful materials about today.
Due to our donors we continue to strive for freedom of speech.
Reliably clear journalism is a guarantee of the development of partnership and security.
In the war between Russia and Ukraine, journalists are vigorously fighting on the information front. Our information is honest information.
We are presented with news from various spheres of life, and simple readers were the first to know about the most important things. Our media highlight the life of Ukrainian youth. .
During the war, our media does not use advertizing. Media are actively fighting the enemy on the information front: on the website and in social media. Charity Foundation Democratic Society supports the fight of media.
Media activity in Ukraine has never been so important. Our correspondents work tirelessly, journalists fight on the information front - with the help of news, texts, posts on social networks, streams on YouTube, etc.
The work of a journalist in wartime is difficult and responsible. Journalists must adhere to safety rules and ethical principles; they perform difficult and responsible work professionally and effectively.
The work of journalists during war is always fraught with difficulties and dangers; journalists have to work in unfavorable conditions, face danger and overcome it.
In their work in wartime, journalists must ensure the safety of their activities and have everything necessary to ensure their safety, including a first aid kit and communications equipment.
Press must have the resources to work.
In order for the newspaper to expand the circle of its readers, support for the development of the newspaper is needed to make it better, so that journalists are motivated to work at full strength.
Currently, during the war, not all advertising products can be advertised, so now there is a shortage in funds.
During the war, all state financial resources, as well as the funds of the population, are directed towards producing and purchasing of weapons to defend ourselves for surviving, for military personnel, participating in hostilities, creating a gigantic shortage of funds for refugees and all the civilians.
Our Foundation helps independent mass media and our correspondents have a support in work.
The project support our media, partners of our CF "Democratic Society", one of which is a newspaper "Ukrainian Youth".
Our newspaper "Ukrainian Youth" is read by officials of Ukraine, people's deputies, youth, ordinary people.
Our newspaper provides objective and important information to communities, especially those affected by Russian invasion. It is also supports our media organizations, which stimulate the improvement of professional skills of journalists, cyber and physical safety of journalists, as well as the explaining to journalists their rights and their protection during war.
We support our mass media, which is now in a bad situation during military operations.
Journalists of our editorial office work non-stop in order for our readers to learn the most up-to-date information in the period of war in Ukraine as quickly as possible.
Journalists work with published only true and verified information. Our journalists defend freedom of speech and democratic values.
Project helps to provide the resources to work for our journalists, for the implementation of freedom of transport movement of our journalists, for conducting interviews, attending press-conferences, covering important events, posting articles, purchasing gadgets and journalists equipment. With true and verified information, we don't give invaders a chance in the newsroom of the battle. To resist any kind of propaganda, we support our journalists.
To help media in our country, to help children of refugees to continue getting higher education, develop journalism among children of the refugees, our foundation provides activity in the organization of free tutoring, free practice for students, free internships for students of higher educational institutions in the specialty "journalism", introduction of non-formal education in educational institutions, based on human rights principles, holding cultural and integration events.
Charity Foundation "Democratic Society" provides projects to help students - children of refugees from the war in the journalistic speciality, a project of an aid to the main base for free internship - to our newspaper "Ukrainian Youth".
Internship is included in the process of studying students at universities, and the organization of this internship, tuition, also requires funds.
So in that period we continued to provide aid and support of our media - the newspaper "Ukrainian Youth", .
