Overview

Mission

Daar provides humanitarian aid to the people of ukraine.

What it reported doing in 2024

Daar charitable foundation ships a variety of humanitarian aid to ukraine, including medical supplies, medicine, water treatment devices, food, personal protective gear, and other badly needed items. While many organizations are providing support to the overwhelming number of refugees, our focus at daar is to provide aid to those ukrainians remaining in-country, currently in conflict zones. We also provide grants to local ukrainian ngos operating effectively and efficiently on the ground, many of whom we've partnered with to distribute aid across the country.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Grant intermediary. The nonprofit sent 100% of its reported program spending out as grants.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Some filing-based governance responses are negative or unanswered and the filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad.
