Mission

URF is a 501(c)(30 nonprofit based in California. We receive funds through private donations and spend them on several programs, providing aid, rescue, and relief for Ukrainian war victims in the form of cash donations for food, shelter, and travel. Our work is carried out by volunteers including the foundation's three board officers and non-related, non-profit organizations. The activities of the organization are carried out in Ukraine and European countries willing to support Ukraine refugees.

Program accomplishments

  • Kharkiv Resilience Fund (KRF): A sub-fund focused on Ukraines second-largest city, Kharkiv a frontline community enduring continuous bombardment. This program supports a range of targeted initiatives, from providing science kits and online learning tools to children, to procuring specialty materials such as fabrics for manufacturing vests used by first responders. In accordance with donor specifications, KRF may retain and carry forward restricted balances to ensure continuity and flexibility in mission-aligned project execution.

  • To maximize operational efficiency and impact, the Ukrainian Refugee Foundation (URF) partners with select nonprofit organizations in the EU and Ukraine that share its humanitarian mission. These organizations are often better positioned to carry out certain activities locally. URF enters into Memoranda of Cooperation with each partner, allowing for the transfer of unrestricted funds when appropriate. Unless specified otherwise, such transfers may be used by the partner for general charitable purposes, provided their activities remain consistent with URFs 501(c)(3) status and the terms of the Memorandum.
