For many of us, the story of volunteering for Ukraine began back in 2013 with the Maidan’s Revolution of Dignity. During this pivotal moment, we witnessed Ukrainians coming together with a shared desire to embrace democratic values, integrate with Europe, and reject Russian influence. It was a powerful and inspiring experience to be part of this movement.
Early on, many of us organized fundraisers, mobilized volunteers, and participated in protests to support Ukraine and raise awareness of the Maidan events both in the United States and around the world.
Our volunteers come from diverse backgrounds, many with experience in non-profit work. One of Dignitas Ukraine’s co-founders, Lyuba Shipovich, co-founded Razom for Ukraine in 2014, which brought together passionate volunteers in the U.S. and beyond.
Since 2013, our efforts have supported Ukraine in a variety of ways:
Our mission at Dignitas Ukraine is to support the Ukrainian people in building a thriving society that contributes to the growth of a free and democratic world. We believe in Ukraine’s vast economic and human potential. To help realize this potential, we provide humanitarian aid, technology, training programs, and expert guidance. Through these efforts, we aim to empower Ukrainians to make meaningful contributions on a global scale.
Dignitas Ukraine is incorporated in New Jersey and is a recognized 501(c)(3) charity organization (EIN: 92-3194330).
year of the beginning
From February 2022, we were supporting the Ukrainian army within the Emergency Response project of the Razom for Ukraine organization. Since February 2023 we established a separate nonprofit organization Dignitas, which focuses entirely on providing support to the Ukrainian defenders for them do their job effectively – protect the freedom, sovereignty and values of Ukraine and its people. With the efforts of people from four countries: the USA, Ukraine, Canada and Poland, the team searched for, purchased, packed and delivered everything possible and everything much-needed in tactical medicine.
We focused on the procurement and delivery of two types of goods — tactical medicine and communication devices. We bought drones, satellite phones, radio transmitters, tablets, repeaters, antennas, etc.
We ourselves delivered all the goods to military units along the entire front line. About 600 tons of communication devices and tactical medicine were provided to medics and soldiers on the front line.
We cooperated directly with General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
