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.
