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:
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,
Sandrina + the GlobalGiving team

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:
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 are seeing the first signs of spring in many parts of the world, but temperatures remain low in and around Ukraine. And the humanitarian conditions for millions of people there continue to deteriorate daily. We are incredibly grateful for your kindness, generosity, and expression of solidarity with the Ukrainian people through your donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief fund.
Since the war started five weeks ago, almost a quarter of the Ukrainian population has been forced to flee their homes. The Russian military has shown a total disregard for protecting and treating civilians humanely. The war has broken up families and forced more than 4 million people—mostly women and children—to bravely take long, dangerous journeys by train, car, bus, and foot into neighboring countries to seek refuge.
In the past two weeks, GlobalGiving sent an additional US$2.5 million to 36 vetted nonprofit partner organizations working diligently across Ukraine and countries in the region to meet the immense needs of the people most affected.
Below is a short description of some of the humanitarian relief you have supported with your donation:
Thank you for your generous donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund that supported these efforts. As the conflict rages on, insecurity, uncertainty, and humanitarian needs abound. We are committed to providing humanitarian and long-term support to our partners in Ukraine and neighboring countries. And we will keep you informed about how your donation is impacting the lives of people who are suffering because of this violent conflict.

I’m writing this update to you on the 16th day since Russia invaded Ukraine and violently upended the lives of millions of Ukrainian individuals and families. You are part of a vibrant community of more than 50,000 individuals and corporate teams who have generously donated to the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. And as humanitarian needs grow exponentially, we are grateful for your support and the awe-inspiring work of our nonprofit partners.
This war is causing widespread suffering, and persons with disabilities, children, older adults, African Ukrainians, Africans, and members of the LGBTQ+ community are being disproportionately impacted by this war.
In our second round of emergency grants, GlobalGiving is sending nearly US$1.6 million to 28 vetted nonprofit partners this week. This will provide much-needed humanitarian aid in Ukraine, along border areas, and in support of refugees in Poland, Romania, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia, Lithuania, and Austria. It will allow the nonprofit teams receiving the grants to deliver food, water, medical support, baby food kits, and hygiene supplies and meet the many unfolding needs of civilians caught up in the war. Our long-term response will continue with additional grants that respond to changing needs.
Here is a brief description of some of the life-saving operations you are supporting:
You can find a full list of nonprofit organizations receiving a grant this week from the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund at the end of this report.
The plight of the Ukrainian people and others affected by the war feels overwhelming, and the need to help is ever-present. Thanks to your donation, we will continue to provide long-term support through the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund to our nonprofit partners that are delivering humanitarian relief to communities in Ukraine and refugees who have fled the country. We will keep you informed along the way, so please look out for future updates.
Thank you for your unwavering support for all those affected by the war in Ukraine.
In solidarity,

Thank you for your generous donation to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Since Russia amassed troops on Ukraine’s borders and then invaded Ukraine last week and disrupted the lives of millions, you’ve demonstrated solidarity and a deep desire to help the Ukrainian people. The GlobalGiving team and our community-led nonprofit partners on the front lines of this humanitarian response are grateful for your trust and support of our work through this fund.
Even before the war began, GlobalGiving’s local community-led nonprofit partners were preparing and supporting their communities as tensions grew. Now, as Russia’s missile and artillery strikes continue to target civilians and the infrastructure they need to survive, humanitarian needs are soaring.
Today, eight days after the Russian invasion, GlobalGiving is sending approximately US$1 million to 20 vetted nonprofit partners working around the clock to provide humanitarian assistance in Ukraine, along border areas, and to aid refugees in Poland, Hungary, Moldova, Slovakia, and Romania. These teams are delivering medical aid, clean water, shelter, psychosocial services, and hygiene kits as well as helping to safely evacuate children and seniors. This is our first round of emergency grants in our long-term response, with more to come, as needs change and emerge.
Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve already supported:
And across all regions in Ukraine, the Ukrainian Red Cross Society has staff and volunteers providing medical care, first aid, psychosocial support, and other life-saving services. Their teams are also providing search and rescue support to firefighters and delivering first-aid training for volunteers in underground metro stations and bomb shelters.
You can find a full list of nonprofit organizations that received a grant from the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund at the end of this report.
As we hear about the latest devastation and see the heartbreaking images, we’re inspired by the care, compassion, and generosity that you’ve shown the Ukrainian people. As we are all witnessing, Ukrainians are incredibly determined, strong, and resilient.
We are proud to stand alongside you in solidarity with the Ukrainian people. And we are committed to continuing humanitarian relief and longer-term support for Ukrainian communities through the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Please stay tuned for more updates about how your donations will continue to make a difference.

Project Reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you will get an e-mail when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports via e-mail without donating.
We'll only email you new reports and updates about this project.
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.
