Overview

Mission

Provide humanitarian aid to displaced persons and populations impacted by the full scale invasion of ukraine through acquisition and logistic support to facilitate deliveries of food, clothing, medical aid, water purification, and survival needs.

What it reported doing in 2024

Support isolated villages near frontlines with food, hygiene supplies, and other critical needs. Many agencies deliver aid to the ukraine border or safer cities in western ukraine, we take that aid to severly impacted villages that were either occupied previously or near combat areas.

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 80% of its reported program spending out as grants.
  • Includes noncash contributions: Reported contributions include donated property or goods.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
