This is a little different than the typical information I provide. Yet, in light of what is going on in Ukraine—352 Ukrainian civilians have been killed in the conflict, including 14 children, per Ukraine’s Interior Ministry, while over 500,000 have fled to neighboring countries—and the many requests I’ve received from donors and interested parties, I thought I’d put together a list of 5 nonprofits and charities supporting Ukraine in their conflict, so people can personally support Ukraine in confidence. I’ve listed them in alphabetical order, as all of these charities have been listed by GuideStar with a gold seal of transparency or above and most listed on Charity Navigator with 3 out of 4 stars or above.
