Ukraine Crisis Relief

The war in Ukraine has become the fastest-growing humanitarian crisis since World War II. The United Nations is warning that continued conflict in Ukraine could displace 10 million people — a staggering number that would make it one of the largest refugee crises on earth. In addition to numerous civilian casualties and the growing refugee crisis, shelters, rescue groups and veterinary clinics in Ukraine are making every effort to provide safety and urgent care to animals caught up in the conflict as well. 

How can you help?

Make a donation to provide nourishing meals, relocation assistance, medical attention, emergency supplies, and support short and long-term projects that foster and promote democracy and opportunities for Ukrainians to prosper.

Below is a shortlist including America’s Charities nonprofit members, as well as other reputable 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations that our clients have been including in their employee giving disaster relief campaigns. This is not an exhaustive list, but rather is intended as a starting point for individual donors interested in nonprofits to support and for employers deciding which charities to include in employee disaster relief campaigns. While immediate humanitarian aid is important, ensuring long-term support through your company’s workplace giving campaign is crucial to effectively helping the affected communities.
