A concise route to the foundation's legal identity, capabilities, projects, governance, reporting, and contact for institutional enquiries.
The page does not duplicate the records themselves - it routes to them.

Verified financial evidence: a direct UHF grant of USD 971,714.82 (committed 8 Oct 2025, disbursed 25 Nov 2025) - earmarked project funding, not unrestricted foundation funds.
Revenues across 2022-2025 were ₴328M, of which UAH 299.1M went to programmes. The financial statement for each year is published inside that year's annual report.
Financial evidence and documents are in the "Reporting & transparency" section.
The Winter Resilience project record documents protection principles: non-discriminatory selection, prevention of sexual exploitation and abuse (PSEA), in-project complaint channels, and cluster coordination.
Public versions of the foundation's own policies (safeguarding, PSEA, anti-corruption) and standing complaint channels are a foundation requirement; the prototype does not imitate them.Foundation documents (charter, reports, policies). The material has not been provided yet.
This list is built from the revenue tables of the foundation's official annual reports; every row links to the report and the page where the amount is printed. Roles are distinguished: a donor grants to the foundation directly, a funder grants through an intermediary. Where the source records it, the foundation's own role in these relationships is implementing partner: the donor funds, the foundation delivers. No logos are used until the foundation confirms permissions.
What is public, what is unavailable, and what exists only as a demo layout - in the document registry.
Each claim derives from a specific project record - with a period, geography and source.
A sector appears here only where project records carry it. The figure is how many such records there are.
A direct Ukraine Humanitarian Fund (UHF/OCHA) grant for Winter Resilience 2025–2026: the foundation is the funding recipient, accountable for the project, and implements the Donetsk-oblast component (Kramatorsk district) directly; the Kharkiv-oblast component runs through a local sub-partner.
Building Back Better II (2023–2026, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytskyi, Cherkasy and Kirovohrad oblasts) in partnership with Plan International, funded by BMZ: needs assessment, procurement, repairs and equipment for education facilities.
Administering sub-grants for local civil-society organizations (2023, with UHF support).
A UNICEF implementing partner since 2016: supplies and programmes for child and education institutions.
