The full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine has immensely strained the country's civil society, which plays a crucial role in strengthening social cohesion and promoting resilience. Philanthropic organizations around the world have become active to alleviate acute suffering. However, fragmented efforts and overlapping initiatives often limit their collective impact. Without adequate support for civil society organizations, their ability to work effectively and respond to ongoing challenges is weakened, with direct consequences for millions of Ukrainians.

Foundations for Ukraine is an answer to the needs expressed by many philanthropic organizations in Ukraine, aiming to be a platform for strategic collaboration:

• more collaboration in advocacy for Ukraine
• more spaces to learn from each other and understand the evolving challenges in the country
• more coordination of philanthropic activities to better support local partners

F4U does not serve as a fundraising platform but focuses on promoting meaningful partnerships and creating opportunities for members to jointly develop impactful strategies.

Foundations for Ukraine is open to philanthropic organizations worldwide. The founding group consists of a number of large foundations from Europe, including Ukraine, and North America. Ukrainian civil society organizations are an integral part of this process, ensuring that the initiatives of the network are guided by local perspectives.

The coordination of F4U is managed by the International Alumni Center (iac) Berlin, a competence center for impact-oriented alumni work and networks in philanthropy, founded by the Robert Bosch ��һ�Թ���.
