The Ukrainian nonprofit sector has responded quickly to wartime needs since the Russian invasion began on February 24, 2022, adapting activities to meet immediate needs while working to maintain core programs, a report from the Kyiv-based Zagoriy Foundation finds. Based on eight in-depth interviews conducted in May with representatives of NGOs and charitable organizations in five regions of Ukraine, the report, Charity in times of war (21 pages, PDF), found that most charities expected the focus to shift eventually to employment and integration of internally displaced persons as well as post-war reconstruction and more systematic humanitarian aid. Ukrainians' participation, both in terms of donations (cash and in-kind gifts) and volunteering, increased significantly early in the war but has now begun to decline due to financial difficulties, burnout, and the need to go back to work. The report also found that while donors pivoted to funding wartime priorities, many also are supporting pre-war projects, and charities are rebuilding revenue sources. And while competition for funding has decreased due to unprecedented resources coming in during the war, the effect is expected to be temporary. The report’s authors recommend that donors provide capacity-building support to newly established organizations as well as to established organizations that suffered loss of staff and continue to provide flexible funding, and that charities maintain “responsible and systematic reporting,” prepare for a decline in donations and diversify their revenue sources, and build long-term relationships with volunteers.
