Ukraine Giving Opportunities

We highly recommend the organizations listed in this guide, which provide aid in three categories: relief for Ukrainian Jewish community; general relief; and refugee resettlement in the Bay Area. These organizations were curated by our professional philanthropic advisors and informed by the organizations our donor-advised funds support. We encourage you to consider giving to these organizations as part of your philanthropic strategy.
