Times of war always present the challenge of getting money to place-based agencies to secure what is needed to help provide basic relief to displaced or wounded victims of war. Needs in Ukraine abound.

Many have asked how to give to Ukrainian relief and if there are suggested organizations that do good work in this arena. Eight vetted organizations are listed below that would welcome a credit card donation through their online donation portal (links provided).

Also found below is a link to 8 pages of links (in English) for numerous organizations that do specialized relief work in Ukraine with persons who may not fall into the predominant culture’s “center,” but who have specific needs and situations and are often some of the first or most severe victims of war and/or cultural unrest.

This list is solely for your information and use if you are inclined to give.

Here’s our short list–and it may/will change as things on the ground in Ukraine and surrounding countries change:

CARE

Doctors Without Borders

International Medical Corps

United Way Worldwide (for Ukraine)

List of various Ukranian organizations that work directly with feminist, women-focused, LGTBQ, and others in Ukraine who are at very great risk during this time of war and instability

Should you wish to dive deeper, here’s a link to the Council on Foundations, an organization with which we work, that has an even broader list of organizations they suggest for support: Philanthropy’s Response to Russian Invasion of Ukraine | Council on Foundations (cof.org)
