Ways to Help
the People of Ukraine

With the Russian invasion of Ukraine continuing to evolve, our team here at the Minneapolis Foundation has put together a list of organizations for those looking to give or take action in support of Ukraine. According to the Center for Disaster Philanthropy, the scale and urgency of humanitarian needs will continue to increase. Hundreds of thousands of people are fleeing the country or leaving areas that have been bombed or are at risk of further conflict. As a result, the United Nations has issued a $1.7 billion flash appeal to support needs in Ukraine as well as countries receiving refugees.

These are organizations that have set up funds in support of Ukraine.
