Since 2022, Dignitas Ukraine has trained UAV pilots, equipped defenders with life-saving technology, and helped wounded veterans rebuild their lives. Every one of those outcomes started with a donation — from someone who decided to help and found a way to do it.
We know that people give differently. Some prefer a quick card payment. Others want to put appreciated stock or digital assets to work. Some want to support Ukraine every month on autopilot. Others are thinking about a legacy that outlasts them.
This guide covers all fourteen ways to give to Dignitas Ukraine, so you can find the one that fits you best.
As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN: 92-3194330), all cash and asset donations to Dignitas Ukraine are tax-deductible under U.S. law. For a deeper look at maximizing your tax benefit, see our 10 Tax-Smart Ways to Give.
1. Donate by Card
A credit or debit card donation is the fastest way to get resources to where they’re needed. The process takes under two minutes, and your contribution goes directly to funding drone training, ground robotics programs, and veteran reintegration.
How it works: Visit our secure donation page, enter your amount, and complete the payment by card. Visa, Mastercard, and American Express are all accepted.
Why it matters: Card donations are processed quickly, which means we can respond to urgent equipment and training needs without delay. You’ll receive an automatic receipt for your tax records.
2. Donate with PayPal
PayPal is one of the most trusted online payment platforms in the world — and one of the easiest ways to support Dignitas Ukraine from any device.
How it works: Donate directly through our PayPal link. You can use your PayPal balance, a linked bank account, or a card — whichever you prefer.
Also worth knowing: You can also give through the PayPal Giving Fund, PayPal’s verified charity program, where 100% of your gift is passed to us with no transaction fees. You’ll receive a tax receipt directly from PayPal.
3. Donate by Bank Transfer
For larger gifts, or if you simply prefer to give directly from your bank account, a bank transfer is a reliable and straightforward option.
How it works: Full wire transfer and ACH details are available on our donation page. Open your bank’s online portal or visit a branch, enter our account details, and initiate the transfer.
Why donors choose this method: Bank transfers involve no third-party processing fees, which means a higher share of your gift reaches the programs you care about. This method is particularly popular for major gifts and institutional contributions.
4. Donate by Check
Prefer to give the traditional way? A check is a simple, reliable, and fully tax-deductible option — no online account required.
How it works: Make your check payable to Dignitas Ukraine and mail it to:
PO Box 233, Cranford, NJ 07016
Good to know: We’ll issue a written acknowledgment upon receipt, which you can use as your tax record. If you’d like your gift directed to a specific program — such as Freedom Sky or Flight to Recovery — please include a note with your check.
5. Donate with Bitcoin (BTC)
Bitcoin donations are fast, borderless, and — for donors holding appreciated BTC — one of the most tax-efficient ways to give.
How it works: Send your Bitcoin contribution to our verified wallet address:
BTC: bc1qvgxgjvgr42arm0r0umnm4wpvz6fjkq53h78qfh
To donate: copy the address, open your wallet or exchange, select “Send,” paste the address, enter your amount, and confirm the transaction.
Tax note: When you donate appreciated Bitcoin directly — rather than selling it first — you typically avoid capital gains tax and can deduct the fair market value at the time of transfer. Consult your tax advisor for specifics applicable to your situation.
6. Donate with Ethereum (ETH)
Ethereum holders can support Dignitas Ukraine directly from their wallet — a fast, secure, and tax-smart option for the growing community of ETH donors.
How it works: Send your Ethereum contribution to our verified wallet address:
ETH: 0xBd08a9427C6E6b68a75E8845cFd47E60504AbE44
To donate: copy the address, open your wallet or exchange, select “Send,” paste the address, enter your amount, and confirm the transaction.
Tax note: Like Bitcoin, donating appreciated Ethereum directly to a 501(c)(3) generally allows you to avoid capital gains tax and deduct the fair market value at the time of the gift. Keep a record of the transaction hash for your tax documentation.
7. Donate with Venmo
Venmo is a convenient option for donors who prefer mobile-first giving. Quick, familiar, and fully tax-deductible.
How it works: Our Venmo details are listed on the donation page. Open the Venmo app, search for Dignitas Ukraine, and send your gift.
Good to know: Like all contributions to Dignitas Ukraine, Venmo donations to our verified nonprofit account are tax-deductible. Keep your transaction confirmation as a record.
8. Donate with Zelle
Zelle transfers funds directly between U.S. bank accounts — no app balance to manage, no waiting period.
How it works: Find our Zelle details on the donation page. Open your bank’s app or the Zelle app, enter our information, and complete the transfer.
Why donors like Zelle: Transfers are typically instant and free. There are no platform fees, so your full donation reaches our programs. A written acknowledgment from Dignitas Ukraine will serve as your tax receipt.
9. Donate Through a Donor-Advised Fund
If you have a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) with Fidelity Charitable, Schwab Charitable, Vanguard Charitable, Benevity, or another sponsor, you can recommend a grant to Dignitas Ukraine directly from your DAF account.
How it works: Log in to your DAF portal, search for Dignitas Ukraine or enter our EIN — 92-3194330 — and submit your grant recommendation.
Why this method is powerful: Your contribution to your DAF is immediately tax-deductible, even if the grant to Dignitas Ukraine is distributed later. DAF giving is especially valuable for donors who have received a windfall, sold a business, or want to consolidate charitable giving into a single deductible event.
Learn more about DAF giving in our dedicated guide: How to Give to Dignitas Ukraine Through a Donor-Advised Fund.
10. Donate Stock
Donating appreciated stock is one of the most tax-efficient forms of charitable giving available — and it directly translates into training, equipment, and lives protected in Ukraine.
How it works: Instead of selling your shares, you transfer them directly to Dignitas Ukraine. You avoid capital gains tax on the appreciation and can deduct the full fair market value of the stock on the date of the gift.
What your stock donation funds: Programs like Freedom Sky, which is training interceptor drone operators, and Victory Robots, which equips defenders with ground robotics skills, depend on sustained, meaningful contributions.

11. Employer Donation Matching
Many U.S. companies will match — or even double or triple — their employees’ donations to 501(c)(3) nonprofits. It’s one of the simplest ways to multiply your impact without spending a dollar more.
How it works:
- Check whether your employer participates using our donation matching tool.
- Make your donation to Dignitas Ukraine.
- Submit your receipt through your company’s HR portal or matching program platform.
- Your employer sends an additional contribution directly to Dignitas Ukraine.
Why it matters: If your company matches at a 1:1 ratio, a $100 gift becomes $200. At 2:1, it becomes $300 — all going to drone training, veteran support, and life-saving technology. Thousands of U.S. companies participate in matching programs, including many in the tech, finance, and healthcare sectors.
Check with your HR department if you’re unsure whether your employer offers this benefit — it often goes unclaimed.
12. Leave a Legacy Gift
A legacy gift allows you to make a lasting commitment to Ukraine’s future — one that continues beyond your lifetime.
How it works: You can include Dignitas Ukraine in your will, living trust, or as a beneficiary of a retirement account or life insurance policy. Donors aged 70½ and older can also make a Qualified Charitable Distribution (QCD) directly from an IRA — a tax-free way to give up to $105,000 per year, regardless of whether you itemize deductions.
Why this matters: Ukraine’s recovery and technological resilience will be built over decades. Programs like Tech Explorers — training the next generation of engineers — and Flight to Recovery — supporting wounded veterans — are long-term investments in the people of Ukraine. A legacy gift ensures that investment continues.

13. Become a Monthly Donor
Monthly giving is one of the most impactful things a supporter can do — not because of any single contribution, but because of what consistent, predictable support makes possible.
How it works: Set up a recurring donation on our donation page. You choose the amount and frequency. You can pause or cancel at any time.
Why recurring support matters: Training programs require planning. Equipment procurement requires lead time. When we can rely on a steady base of monthly donors, we can commit to multi-cycle training cohorts, negotiate better prices on drone components, and respond to urgent needs on the front line without waiting for a fundraising campaign to close.
A monthly gift of $25 trains a defender in drone operations. $50 per month helps equip a frontline crew. $100 per month sustains a veteran through Flight to Recovery’s rehabilitation program.
Every monthly donor receives an annual tax summary for easy deduction filing.
14. Shop Our Amazon Wishlist
Not ready to give cash? You can donate directly in the form of goods — and we’ll put them to work immediately.
How it works: Visit our Amazon Wishlist. Every item has been specifically requested by our programs: drone components, tablets, batteries, and training materials. Add items to your cart and complete the purchase — Amazon ships directly to Dignitas Ukraine.
What you receive: You’ll receive an acknowledgment from Dignitas Ukraine by email, which serves as your receipt for an in-kind charitable contribution.
Why this option resonates: There’s something concrete about purchasing a specific item and knowing it’s heading to a training center or frontline unit. It’s a direct connection between what you give and what it becomes.
