HUMANITARIAN
PROGRAMS
In war time, REBUILD UKRAINE is able to leverage partnerships in Lithuania to deliver the most critically needed aid to those suffering in Ukraine – on tight timelines, and in a manner highly responsive to conditions on the ground. Partners source supplies in Lithuania and then drive them directly to contacts in Ukraine. This strategy is highly cost-effective and is creating a strategic support network, whereby refugees and children affected by war can find safe passage to Lithuania and other EU countries.
FUNDRAISING
ACTIVITIES
From February 25, 2022 to July 15, 2022, REBUILD UKRAINE has raised over $450,000 from 300+ donors. 100% of the donated funds went directly to buying and delivering the emergency supplies described above. The goal is to raise an additional $500,000 over the next six months and to double the donor base. 100% of these funds will go directly to front-line work and will undoubtedly save – whether through direct evacuation or provision of medicine or equipment with protective gear – thousands of lives. REBUILD UKRAINE is incorporated in the State of Minnesota as a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our EIN is 88-1252115.
