Nova Ukraine has been helping build a stable democratic Ukrainian society through fundraising since 2014, a year that became determinative for the country in many ways. Since then and until 2024, they have sent more than $112,18 million worth of aid distributed in collaboration with 3517 corresponding Ukraine-based volunteers and other nonprofits, and with support of more than 190,000 individual donors.
Nova Ukraine came together in California, USA, with an initial mission to oppose Russian aggression and influence on shaping Ukraine’s future. Since then, the team has not only been effectively procuring humanitarian aid, but also supported Ukrainian cultural efforts such as cinema production, education and sports. They have contributed in translating tech literature for Ukrainian students and promoted Ukrainian concerts and movie screenings. It was especially delightful to observe since a good old friend of Noltic, Ostap Korkuna, is a co-chairman of Nova Ukraine.
Since the full-scale war started in 2022, Nova Ukraine’s focus shifted completely towards saving people’s lives – in the first year of invasion the nonprofit managed to help more than 3.6 million Ukrainians. This includes delivering vital medical and hygiene supplies, providing food and shelter, evacuating refugees, aiding animals, rebuilding affected regions and more.
