The UFF Advantage

90% of charitable funds for Ukraine are donated to large international nonprofits, and around 87% of that aid never makes it past Western Ukraine to the front lines where it is desperately needed. UFF is unique because we are small, agile, and headquartered in Kyiv. We don't lose aid to international corruption, and we don't rely on other organizations for delivery. The UFF accepts tax-exempt donations by ACH bank transfer, credit card, PayPal, Wire Transfer, Check, Donor-Advised Fund, PayPal Giving Fund, and Venmo. Learn more about our mission here.

Aid With Integrity

We know who to trust, who not to trust, and we build our humanitarian aid pipelines with integrity and less than 4% overhead costs.

Choose Your Cause

Pick one of 4 campaigns or donate to our general fund and we’ll put your money where needed most. All donations are U.S. tax exempt.

We Live in Ukraine

We're based in Kyiv, we have extensive experience with Ukraine's defenders, and we're often at the front lines. We go where other charities cannot.

Skip the Bureaucracy

We don’t leave aid with the government or other organizations. We deliver direct to those in need, shake their hands, and say "hang on, we’ll be back."

Ukraine's Ministry of Defense website article thanks UFF training partner, Sonata, for conducting a two week course for senior instructors on Principles of War, Military Decision Making Process and other elements of Military Leadership:www.mil.gov.ua/news/2024/03/15/manevrena-vijna-i-shvidki-rishennya-ukrainski-oficzeri-vikladachi-...TRANSLATIONManeuver Warfare and Quick Decisions - Ukrainian Training Officers Completed a Training Course with American InstructorsThe Military Decision Making Process (MDMP) training course was held at one of our military educational institutions. Experts from the Sonata Holding LLC company, US Marine Corps veterans well experienced in this battle planning, conducted this course.The MDMP process consists of seven interrelated steps, which include: mission analysis, development of courses of action, their modeling, comparison, determination, approval of the best option, and development of a combat order. This is a method of constant brainstorming and delegation of authority to lower level of military management, as well as the work of staffs both vertically and horizontally - based on the principles of trust, initiative and critical thinking.Simultaneously, maneuver warfare and the combined use of new technological weapons allow you to defeat even a larger enemy."We are very grateful to the American experts for their cooperation. Implementation of the project on the basis of military educational institutions will make it possible to spread this experience and knowledge among future officers as widely as possible. The enemy is trying to put pressure on us with numbers. We have to improve the quality of training and win with intelligence and technology," emphasized Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Наталія Калмикова / Nataliia Kalmykova . According to the memorandum of cooperation signed between the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and the American company, during 2024 its experts will conduct more than ten similar courses for teachers and cadets of military educational institutions, as well as training for the headquarters of combat unit.#StandWithUkraine #SupportUkraine #EducationLeadership #EducationInnovation #ministryofdefence #ukrainewar #ukrainesupport #ukraineconflict #trainukraine Andrii Ryzhenko ...

Vehicles last on average at the front from 2 weeks to 2 months: there is an obvious correlation with the intensity of combat within the unit's sector.Defenders have a constant need for cars, as well as drones and other non-lethal equipment. Your donations make a huge impact in providing them with the tools they need to survive and win.#StandWithUkraine #SupportUkraine ... See MoreSee Less
