Where is the money going?

 

Razom means “together” in Ukrainian and creates spaces where people meet, partner and work together to unlock the potential of Ukraine. Razom is responding to the invasion of Ukraine by working with a diverse group of projects and partners providing critical humanitarian war relief and recovery, evacuating vulnerable populations and advocating for Ukraine.

https://razomforukraine.org/projects/

Ohmatdyt is the biggest children’s hospital in Ukraine. Since 1894, the institution has been constantly saving lives. Now under the constant threat of air strikes and shell bombing the mission of the hospital has changed from caring for sick children and delivering babies into the world, to caring for injured Ukrainian citizens of all ages who have become casualties of war.

Nova Ukraine is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine and raising awareness about Ukraine in the United States as well as in the rest of the world. Their goal is to fund and organize a range of programs to aid Ukraine in its recovery from social and economic crises and to build a stronger country aligned with democratic values. The majority of their volunteer work is unpaid and consequently, the funding overhead has been under 2%.
