Overview

Mission

To serve the people of Ukraine including its marginalized communities and assist in immediate and post-war rebuilding efforts in Ukraine while promoting Ukrainian culture and heritage in North Carolina and around the United States.

What it reported doing in 2024

In late fall and early winter we hosted Christmas workshops and events for our Ukrainian refugees and American supporters. We also participated in the local Christmas parades and raised funds for READY HEAT blankets and other medical supplies and protective gear supported veterans and their families and contributed to purchasing medical evacuation vehicles and radios of volunteer medics.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 100% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Cannot be determined from the filing. The filing does not provide enough consistent spending detail to tell whether the nonprofit works directly or through others.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - The filed numbers largely add up. A relatively small share of total spending goes to programs and some filed totals do not add up.
