Bluecheck Ukraine
Above is a photo of the Lviv Philharmonic Orchestra. The musicians rehearse amidst humanitarian aid supplies. They transformed their concert hall into a relief hub, and themselves into an emergency humanitarian organization. This is the type of group BlueCheck supports—grassroots, innovative, and motivated. And Ukrainian.
BlueCheck Ukraine identifies, vets, and fast-tracks urgent financial support to Ukrainian NGOs and aid initiatives providing life-saving and other critical humanitarian work on the front lines of Russia’s war on Ukraine. They have the proximity, local knowledge and access to assist those in desperate need. But they need help.
A recent review by Humanitarian Outcomes, funded by the UK Humanitarian Innovation Hub, concluded that only $6.4 million (0.24%) of the more than $2.6 billion that has been donated to Ukraine-related humanitarian response efforts since February have gone to local organizations providing virtually all of the assistance inside the country.
BlueCheck was launched in March 2022. We’re a collective of humanitarian crisis response experts, entrepreneurs, and filmmakers with decades of experience addressing the needs of conflict-affected populations and documenting solidarity movements countering oppression. Our pro-bono partners, Ropes and Gray and Integrity Risk International, provide independent due diligence oversight.
Since March, BlueCheck has identified, vetted and funded several frontline organizations needing immediate financial support to continue operations. And we continue to raise money to support on-the-ground assistance. Help us help them.

View ServicesThe BlueCheck Advantage
The Russian invasion of Ukraine continues to inflict immense suffering. The war is becoming more brutal daily, with little regard for civilians trapped by the fighting. International aid organizations struggle to reach the most affected parts of the country and, in some cases, have themselves been targeted. Many operate only on the periphery of the war and may be forced to evacuate personnel and scale back operations as security further deteriorates.
The Ukrainian people are not waiting for the outside world to help. Risking their own lives, they evacuate civilians from areas under intense Russian bombardment, organize distributions of food, medicine, and other essentials to trapped and displaced people, and operate 24-hour mental health hotlines for traumatized Ukrainians, among various other aid operations. They’ve transformed themselves from musicians into humanitarian aid workers, from academics into war-time educators, and social workers into emergency mental health counselors.
Unlike large international aid organizations with massive resources and abundant media exposure, these local groups work in relative obscurity, stretching precious resources to the brink. Each of these Ukrainian-led and grassroots emergency solidarity efforts demands immediate support from donors outside the country. BlueCheck was created precisely to sustain and expand its operations.
