The world has watched in horror as Ukraine has come under attack. Millions of people living in Ukraine have had to make the terrifying decision of whether to stay or flee. Images and videos show destroyed cities, families squeezing into bomb shelters, crowds rushing to catch departing trains and fleeing on foot with only what they can carry.
Many of us feel helpless and are wondering what we can do to help. The clear answer is to give now.
With a single gift to either the Jewish Philanthropy Smartfund for Ukraine or the Smartfund for Ukraine, you will provide direct support to people in crisis through vetted nonprofits on the ground providing meals, medical supplies and direct cash assistance to families in need. Your gift will also address longer term needs like access to education and permanent housing for refugees and internally displaced persons. By supporting the Smartfund for Ukraine, you will have an immediate impact while helping organizations on the ground prepare for future needs as the conflict continues.
Support these below organizations through one tax-deductible gift:
To remain responsive to evolving needs, we may update the selection of nonprofits funded over time. Learn more about how Smartfunds work here.
