This guide contains a list of trustworthy grassroots Ukrainian organizations and volunteers. Donating to them instead of big international charities means that your money goes directly to Ukrainians.

A good donation approach is to prioritize donations to the Ukrainian army, as Ukraine holds only thanks to the defenders’ bravery and sacrifice.

What matters is not how much you donate but consistency. It’s better to donate a few dollars each month than not donate at all. Please don’t feel embarrassed to donate small amounts of money. It adds up, and together, we make a huge difference.

Please share this guide! Thank you!
