How to help Ukrainians

Many people who read and watch a video of Russia’s large-scale attack on Ukraine may be wondering how they can help the Ukrainian people.

There are a number of organizations and charities that accept donations.

We have listed a few of them. You can click on the links to learn more about their missions and ways to help.

• New Ukraine in a non-profit organization that provides humanitarian aid to Ukraine.
• Ukrainians is a US-based foundation that seeks to help families who have suffered the challenges of war.
• Ukrainian San Antonio is a non-profit organization whose mission is to preserve Ukrainian heritage and promote a better understanding of Ukrainian history and culture.
• United Help Ukraine, Inc.. is a non-profit charitable organization that receives and distributes donations, food and medical supplies to Ukrainian IDPs (internally displaced persons).

Before donating to charity, it’s a good idea to check with one of the nonprofit watchdog groups such as Charity Navigator, Guidestar, and Charity Watch that rate nonprofits on items such as:

• Financial transparency.

• How much is spent on professional fundraisers.

• How much will actually help those the charity is meant to benefit.
