2024 FINANCIAL RECAP
In our operational year 2024, which spanned November 2023 to October 2024, we helped 7,176 Defenders and countless civilians by providing 20,538 pieces of medical supplies (arranged in ~2,000 IFAKs), 7,480 uniform components (including boots), 3,934 pieces of protective equipment (such as electronic earmuffs), 5,358 pieces of tactical gear (knee pads, backpacks, etc), 460 pieces of optical equipment (mainly binoculars). The pie-chart below shows a breakdown of our program spending, with the majority spent on purchasing medical aid and uniform components.
Last year, we averaged about $36,000 in donations and expenses per month. We spent ninety one percent of our funds on program costs, which are the funds we use to directly help people in Ukraine. The remaining nine percent are attributed to the “cost of doing business” that is outside of our control (payment card processing fees, government filing expenses, customs and logistics, and so on). To put that in perspective, Charity Watch generally considers a nonprofit with seventy five percent or above of funds spent on program costs to be an efficient organization.
That’s a lot of aid delivered to the civilians and Defenders of Ukraine, and it couldn’t be accomplished without your help. If there’s a particular category of aid you’d like to contribute you, let us know on our donation page.
