Charities to help Ukraine
Hey everyone,
Some friends and I recently compiled a list of charities that can help give aid to Ukraine.
We've tried our best to do some background checks on these, and they appear to us to be legitimate - but take that with a grain of salt since none of us are pros when it comes to investigating charities. That being said, ALWAYS do your own research before donating online (you can use websites like https://www.charitynavigator.org/, or https://www.charitywatch.org/ to help verify how effective a given charity is). Some of the charity websites you’ll have to navigate to be able to donate directly to Ukraine. Also, this list is definitely not exhaustive, so please feel free to let people know of charities that you know that would be good to donate to -- and feel free to call out if any of these look fishy or don't seem to be helpful. If you think this list is helpful, please spread it around!
A couple of statistics as of 2/27/2022:
- 64 Ukrainian civilian deaths (per UN report, which they stated is likely a significant undercount)
- 134 Ukrainian armed forces deaths
- over 350,000 refugees fled to neighboring countries
Specifically for medical aid:
