RAZOM RELIEF

 

Razom Relief was launched in 2022 in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion to support civilians directly affected by the war.
Since then, we have reached
more than 1,000,000 people by providing access to food, shelter, clean water, psychological support, winter supplies, and safe spaces for children to learn and connect.
We partner with more than 200 local and grassroots organizations that understand their communities’ needs firsthand. Rather than replacing local leadership, Razom strengthens it. Through grants, organizational capacity building, and opportunities for collaboration, we help local initiatives lead humanitarian response and early recovery in their own regions.
In 2026, Razom Relief focuses on strengthening community resilience in frontline and war-affected regions. Our work supports locally driven recovery, invests in small and under-resourced communities, and helps people not only survive the war but rebuild with dignity, stability, and greater self-reliance.

Key Initiatives Include:

 
● Capacity Building for Ukrainian Nonprofit Organizations

● Employment and Self-Employment Support

● Youth Development and Empowerment

● Supporting Veterans as Community Leaders

OUR CURRENT PROJECTS

ImpactUA Internship Program

 

ImpactUA is a U.S.–Ukraine internship program connecting Ukrainian and American students with Ukrainian NGOs through hands-on, project-based placements. Led by Brave Generation and Razom for Ukraine, the program is designed to build long-term engagement with Ukraine by combining meaningful professional experience, cross-cultural collaboration, and civic contribution.

 

ImpactUA moves beyond short-term exposure. The program is built on the belief that sustained, practical involvement with Ukrainian NGOs strengthens future leaders, professionals, and advocates who remain connected to Ukraine well beyond the internship period.

Razom Sylnishi (Stronger)

Goal: Stronger, more professional, and more connected civil society across Ukraine.

Why it matters: Civil society organizations continue to face severe funding shortages. Number of humanitarian responders have decreased by 20% in 2025, and even established organizations are struggling to sustain their work.

How we respond: We provide education, mentorship, and grant funding to hyper-local NGOs outside of Kyiv and Lviv — ensuring that leadership exists and thrives in every region.

Razom Future 

Goal: To raise a generation of leaders capable of driving Ukraine’s recovery and innovative development.

Problem: Lack of access to modern education and practical opportunities in small communities, which intensifies the outflow of young people.

How: By developing a network of STEM centers in small communities, promoting civic education and leadership through youth projects and grants for teachers, and creating internship programs to attract talented young people from abroad to rebuild Ukraine.

Razom Jobs

Goal: help women, veterans, IDPs and people in frontline and newly liberated communities gain new skills, find jobs and start businesses, ensuring economic opportunity, personal dignity, and long-term recovery.

Problem: high levels of unemployment among target demographic, lack of relevant skills, disrupted local economies.

How: short term courses for high-demand professions, career counseling, and small business development, in cooperation with local NGOs, vocational colleges, and employers.

Razom Veterans

Goal: To support veterans’ physical and mental recovery through adaptive sports, establish sustainable reintegration pathways, strengthen a veteran leadership community, and enhance community resilience through a peer-to-peer model.

Problem: As of 2025, Ukraine has approximately 1.3 million veterans, and their needs significantly exceed the capacity of the current support system.

How: By supporting and developing veteran leaders in adaptive sports, creative initiatives, and civil society.
