By Kyra Zimmerman | Program Specialist, Disaster Response
Thank you for your generous contribution to the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. Two and a half years since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, your donations continue to make a difference in our partners’ ability to face even the most tragic circumstances head-on.
Just this week, Russian missile strikes bombarded seven of Kyiv’s 10 districts, damaging many buildings - including the country’s largest children’s hospital, Okhmatdyt. This hospital serves thousands of pediatric cancer patients annually in Kyiv with the support and leadership of GlobalGiving partner Tabletochki Foundation.
Levgeniia, a director at Tabletochki, shared more details with GlobalGiving about this recent tragedy:
“The new building housing the oncohematology and radiology departments was significantly damaged by the shockwave. The full extent of the damage is still being assessed, but it is clear that it is colossal…The children have been transferred to other hospitals, but these facilities are not fully equipped to handle such a high number of critically ill patients.”
In these dark times, your support makes a difference. Alongside a community of supporters from all over the world, YOUR commitment to backing the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund meant that our team could send 21 new grants this month to high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations at the forefront of this crisis, including those responding to the latest missile attack.
Here is a short description of some of the critical work you’ve supported:
Here is what Svitlana at UA Brokers without Borders wants you to know about the impact of your donation:
“Thank you so much for trusting us this much and helping us further our work in Ukraine. This grant goes a long way toward strengthening our organizational capacity in the next two years."
Your support of the GlobalGiving Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund powers locally-led responses, meaning our partners can respond to their communities' immediate and long-term needs.
You can find a full list of nonprofits recently funded by the Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund at the end of this report. Further updates will follow as we continue supporting our partners in the months ahead.
Together, our actions can create waves of impact—even in the most challenging of circumstances. We cannot say it enough: Thank you for your continued support.
With gratitude,
Kyra + the GlobalGiving Team

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
