A FEW WORDS
About Us
We support Ukraine!
Project Ukraine (EIN 881882921) was founded in March 2022 by Silicon Valley professionals who have cultural ties to Ukraine and want to see it thrive as a free and independent country. At Project Ukraine we assist the people of Ukraine by providing humanitarian and medical aid; supporting various social projects and charitable activities; and raising awareness about Ukraine worldwide.
Our Mission
We are fully committed to supporting Ukraine not only during the active phase of the war but also in its recovery efforts. As a small nonprofit organization our goal is to direct our resources to maximize the positive impact and to effectively benefit the people of Ukraine in its most urgent needs to date. At Project Ukraine 100% of the donations go directly to our cause.
