Philanthropy for Ukraine

Together with millions around the world, European philanthropic and civil society organisations are responding to the devastating situation in Ukraine since its invasion by the Russian regime. 

Civil society organisations have undertaken exceptional efforts to support the millions of people fleeing the country, as well as to provide urgent support in the country. European philanthropic organisations too have responded, in particular by mobilising funds and launching calls for donations in support of the people affected and those who defend the full respect of international humanitarian law and protection of civilians and civil society, in Ukraine, in Russia, in Belarus and around the world.

To help provide a coordinated approach, an integrated online portal for Ukraine has been launched, which brings together the efforts, initiatives and calls for donations of European philanthropic and civil society organisations, through two websites: www.PhilanthropyForUkraine.eu and www.NGOforUkraine.eu

Philanthropy for Ukraine helps philanthropic organisations to:

1) share updates on resources mobilised to support Ukraine

2) understand which pledges and commitments are being made by their peers

3) understand and respond to the needs of civil society organisations

NGOs for Ukraine helps civil society organisations to:

1) navigate the offers made by the philanthropic community

2) communicate their needs for support to a community of philanthropic actors. 

The platform provides a straightforward online template allowing philanthropic and civil society organisations to publish their support efforts. Bringing both communities together will allow for more targeted support in the interest of the millions of people suffering the consequences of the invasion.
