Ukrainian Humanitarian Relief Fund was created to accept monetary donations to grants providing humanitarian aid arising from the 2022 Russian Federation military invasion of the sovereign nation of Ukraine. The Fund’s purpose is to provide humanitarian aid, immigration, and relocation assistance to further the safety and wellbeing of Ukrainian affected persons, both within and without Ukraine and the United States, including all related and incidental purposes. Working in partnership with the Pittsburgh Ukrainian Relief Coalition (PURC), the Ukrainian Humanitarian and Cultural Institute (UCHI) was asked to oversee this fund.

Razom for Ukraine - Razom initiates short and long-term projects, or collaborates on existing projects with partner organizations, which help Ukraine stay on the path of fostering democracy and prosperity. Razom is responding to the war in Ukraine by working with volunteers on the ground and partner organizations to provide critical humanitarian war relief and recovery depending on the most urgent needs as they evolve.
