Frequently asked questions

How do I know my donation actually reaches Ukrainian soldiers?
Use each foundation's official website, recent updates, and published reports to understand what it funds and how it communicates results. We list organizations with official donation channels and checkable public presence, not anonymous crowdfunding campaigns.
Is donating to Ukrainian military charities tax-deductible?
Tax deductibility depends on your country of residence and the foundation's registration status. Several listed foundations hold charity status in the US (501(c)(3)), UK, or EU member states. Check the foundation's official website for relevant documentation, or consult a tax adviser.
Can I donate non-monetary items such as equipment or medical supplies?
