Right now, we’re mobilizing to ensure that our network of nonprofits
is prepared to respond to evolving needs.
The money raised in this campaign will support the critical work of our partners on the ground in and around Ukraine, who are working tirelessly to meet the urgent and mounting humanitarian needs – providing food, shelter, transport, and emergency medical units and other basic supplies – as well as refugee relief in neighboring countries. 100% of proceeds will be going to humanitarian aid.
You can learn more about our response and our specific grantees here. So far we’ve allocated more than $11 million in emergency funding to our partners on the ground in and around Ukraine.
You can donate right here. Thank you for your generosity at this critical time.
This match is made possible through the generosity of longtime UJA supporters, with special thanks to the Rosenblatt family and the Friedman family.
At UJA, we care for Jews everywhere and New Yorkers of all backgrounds, respond to crises close to home and far away, and shape our Jewish future. Our essential relationships with hundreds of nonprofits worldwide make us agile and ready to meet both urgent needs in times of crisis, as well as our community’s abiding needs, day in and day out. Ongoing priorities right now include leading the city’s covid recovery efforts, caring for the elderly — including Holocaust survivors, confronting antisemitism, reimagining Jewish life, and of course, responding to crises like the war in Ukraine.
