With your support, Global Impact’s Charity Alliance will continue to make a difference for Ukrainians.
The generosity of individuals, companies and foundations brought in more than $1.5 million through our Ukraine Response Fund and we’re taking a minute to celebrate the work that this funding supports.
Whether you contributed through your workplace giving platform, donated directly on our website or shared the fund with colleagues and friends, a tremendous thank you for your commitment to helping the people of Ukraine during this heartbreaking conflict.
When Ukraine was facing unimaginable grief, we challenged donors to rise to the occasion with compassion, kindness and support. Your contributions to the Ukraine Response Fund will benefit more than 25 charities whose missions include supporting and responding to worldwide needs, and with your unwavering support, our charity partners will be able to accomplish life-changing feats.
Your support is empowering our charity partners to bring extraordinary aid to the people of Ukraine. Here are several of the ways that they are affecting change:
