Ukraine Relief Fund (Powered by IPPAG & Prominate)

All of our countries: those bordering Ukraine and Russia, those within the region, and those further away: are affected or will be affected by this war.
We are naturally profoundly motivated to stand together in solidarity and truly put our “Power of Partnership” to good use.

With immediate effect, IPPAG Cooperative and its sister company Prominate have set up an internal fund for Ukrainian refugees: this page will help to coordinate this.

Acting with our local members on the ground: in particular, Goldenberry in Poland and Chilli Ideas in Romania: we will centrally use this fund to allocate support to initiatives of value. We will inform you and report on these with full transparency and accountability.

There are several factors that will be taken into account in this allocation of funds, first of all: what is actually needed and where.This is changing rapidly day by day, and those closest to the crisis have the best capability to assess, adapt, and maximise impact.

We are therefore proposing to follow Geanina / Olaf and Darek’s guidance: as they are already very involved locally. We have asked them to bring to the IPPAG fund’s attention any initiatives where our contribution could increase and optimize impact: and we will then attribute funds on behalf on IPPAG and its members.

In parallel: if you have goods to send: you can route them via their warehouses, and they will ensure that they are then going through the proper channels to arrive where they are needed. Please check with them first what is of use and of value (please refer to the list that has been shared internally)
