Last week, I made my largest single donation in my life, ~€2500. I made larger donations before as a part of the team, but just getting 2.5k out of my pocket and giving it to someone, not expecting anything in return — it's something new for me, as it's quite a lot of money. Target-wise, it went as a Starlink and a battery to the 92nd brigade near Bahmut (East) and as a thermal imager to the 71st brigade. I hope it serves them well. As I see it, the main difference for this donation was that I switched from large foundations to smaller local ones and the direct donations to soldiers. When there's not a higher good but a specific person on the other end, it's easier to commit and help. There are multiple discussions in Ukrainian society on building a "charity culture" (like the one Taras Korpaniuk started), to donate more, to care more, and I think talking and helping specific people did it for me. On the other hand, as Roman Rybalchenko mentioned in his post today, just buying anything in front of you could not be the most productive use of your money. If there's a direct request, something that is needed right now on the frontline — sure, go for it. But if you just want to help in general — stick to smaller foundations as the best of both worlds. You'll still get a direct "Thank you" from an actual soldier or brigade you helped, and your money will do more good this way. Stay strong and stay safe. P.S. If you search for a small direct foundation to donate to — https://www.portif.org/eng it is.

I recently joined Lotus Foundation 🇺🇦, a student-driven NGO dedicated to assisting Ukrainian soldiers. We collaborate directly with military units on the front lines, striving to address their needs promptly. Although media coverage of the war has decreased, the situation remains immensely challenging. Ukrainian soldiers are tirelessly defending our freedom and require support from those who can provide it. 👀 If you're interested in aiding our mission and standing with our soldiers against russian aggression, please consider following our LinkedIn page- Lotus Foundation 🇺🇦, and visiting our website (https://lnkd.in/difJ37Fm). We'll be sharing updates on new fundraising efforts and the impact of each donation. ✅ If you'd like to donate individually, feel free to message me. If you are a business, interested in supporting, please write an email to office@lotus-fund.org and we can discuss our potential collaboration. 📍Remember: There is no such thing as a small donation, cause every penny saves lives! #ukraine #donation #students #partnerships #standwithukraine
