Who we are
United for Ukraine (UFU) is an internationally operating non-profit organisation founded on the third day of the full-scale Russian invasion to provide emergency support to Ukrainians, both abroad and inside Ukraine.
From the very beginning, UFU was built on the foundation of expertise and technology-based solutions. Dozens of professionals — lawyers, technologists, communicators, and humanitarians — came together across continents to create a fast, scalable, and human-centred response.
Established and launched in Switzerland in February 2022, UFU operates internationally and has built a robust structure, processes and policies to enable fast and effective operation. In 2023, recognising the need for a local presence and cost optimisation, UFU established a Ukrainian legal entity and began working with internally displaced persons (IDPs). By December 2024, the Swiss entity was formally closed, transferring payroll staff and operations to Ukraine.
As of today, UFU has processed and facilitated over USD 9 million in donations and services, combining direct funding, in-kind donations, and pro bono services. We became the largest European partner of Airbnb.org, providing thousands of displaced Ukrainians with safe, temporary housing; built the biggest pan-European platform in the history of the International Rescue Committee; and an effective facilitator of expertise-based volunteering, channelling services and support of 500 pro bono lawyers and deliverying critical information and services in 34 countries.
