Thank you for your generous contribution to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. As we approach the three-year anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion, your donations continue to make a meaningful impact on our partners’ ability to address the needs of their communities each day. Moreover, your support offers a glimmer of hope and motivation for countless Ukrainian communities that are exhausted after more than 1,000 days of war.

Beyond the continued violence, our partners have also faced catastrophic floods this fall. Juggling both disasters was no small task—but our partners pushed through to serve their communities.

Since we last wrote, the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund has made 35 new grants to high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations at the forefront of responding to community needs.

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

  • Odessa Charity Foundation Way Home provides emergency aid in war-torn eastern Ukraine, offering meals, clothes, and psychological support to families in Odessa, along with safe shelter in partnership with other nonprofits. Their team also runs a summer program—which trained 60 disadvantaged youth in agriculture and entrepreneurship this year.
  • Energy Act for Ukraine Foundation installs hybrid solar stations in schools and hospitals and offers sustainability courses to students, with the joint goals of protecting communities during electricity blackouts and fostering a more environmentally sustainable Ukraine. 
  • Ukrainian Down Syndrome Organization supports the families of individuals with Down Syndrome through relocation assistance, essential supplies, and medical care.  Each year, the organization hosts two camps and provides ongoing support for 100 families. The team’s newest goal is to renovate a space dedicated to disability-focused activities.
  • SavED restores access to education in war-affected regions of Ukraine by setting up bomb shelters in schools and creating alternative classrooms. It offers online learning when needed, focusing on de-occupied areas and those near active conflict zones. The organization also conducts research on the war's impact on education, produces documentaries, and advocates internationally for the protection of children. 
  • Krakow Food Bank is a central service provider in Krakow supporting the many Ukrainian refugees in Poland. Since the onset of the war, the organization has delivered 1.7 million meals, valued at $1.9 million USD, to Ukrainian refugees in Krakow. In collaboration with 70 partner nonprofits, they continue to provide ongoing food assistance in both Ukraine and Poland.
  • Right to Protection Poland offers mental health services, cash assistance, legal support, and housing assistance for displaced refugees living in Poland.  Since 2023, the organization has stepped up in big ways to support its community as changes in national rental assistance laws have made it more difficult for refugees, like Ukrainians, to rent in Poland. 
  • Mission Kharkiv has grown significantly since the start of the full-scale invasion, mobilizing over $52 million in donations into specialized oncology medicines for individuals affected by cancer on the frontlines of the war.  Currently, the organization manages underground spaces, which their team has converted into cold storage for cancer medications amid power outages in Kharkiv

Your support of the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund makes locally-led responses like these a reality. With the support of donors like you,  our partners can respond to their communities' immediate and long-term needs.

You can find a full list of nonprofits recently funded by the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund at the bottom of this report. Further updates will follow as we continue supporting our partners in the months ahead.

Together, we can make a difference. Thank you again, for everything. 

With gratitude, 

Kyra + 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.
