Children of Heroes Charity Fund

What Children of Heroes Charity Fund does

Children of Heroes Charity Fund (БО «Благодійний Фонд Діти Героїв») is a charitable foundation established in March 2022 by Ukrainian businessman Danylo Pasko to provide comprehensive long-term support to children who lost one or both parents as a result of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. As of 2025 the organization cares for 16,500+ children across 10,670 families, with 10-20 new enrolments daily and 700+ graduates who have turned 18. It operates through a three-country legal and operational structure: a Ukrainian nonprofit headquarters in Kyiv (EDRPOU 44705718), a US Section 501(c)(3) public charity in Delaware/Wilmington (EIN 88-2709953), and a Dutch representative office (childrenheroes.nl).

The Fund delivers seven core programs — Case Management, Humanitarian Aid, Education and Development, Medical Care, Psychology and Socialization, Family Helpers, and Holiday Presents — coordinated through a dedicated Family Helper model in which each family is paired with a personal coordinator. Program throughput in 2025 included 15,511 psychological therapy sessions, 492,404 educational support hours, 485 voluntary medical insurance policies, 322 tonnes of humanitarian aid, and 94,964 logged family contacts. The underlying technology stack is a charity-management CRM for tracking beneficiaries, integrated payment processing (Fondy, PayPal, JustGiving), and a multi-language website; no proprietary AI/ML systems are in evidence.

The revenue model relies on four streams: individual donations (one-time and recurring monthly subscriptions of 1,610+ supporters), corporate sponsorships with Ukrainian and international firms (Microsoft, Deloitte, Vodafone, Nova Poshta, Teva, Freedom Holding, EBRD-affiliated partners), international development organizations (EBRD, FMO), and personalized fundraisers. Audited total income reached $9,631,307 USD in 2025 (up 27.4% from $7,557,349 USD in 2024), audited by Crowe Ukraine. Governance is unusually capital-markets-oriented for a charity: co-founders include PE professionals from Horizon Capital and Diligent Capital Partners, and supervisory/board members include a former EBRD Managing Director, the Deloitte Ukraine Managing Partner, the Preply CEO, a Wharton MBA who chairs Genesis Philanthropy Group, and a former beneficiary parent — providing strong oversight and credibility for institutional donors.

Expansion highlights5 records

Direct peers

• Voices of Children: Ukrainian charity providing psychological support to children affected by war. Highly comparable in target beneficiary (war-traumatized Ukrainian children) and core service offering (psychological therapy), though narrower in scope than Children of Heroes' seven-program model.
• Sunflower of Peace: Polish-Ukrainian charity providing medical aid to Ukraine. Comparable in fundraising model (individual donations, corporate partnerships) and target beneficiary (war-affected Ukrainian civilians), though focused on medical rather than comprehensive child welfare.
• United Help Ukraine: US-based 501(c)(3) supporting Ukraine with humanitarian aid and medical supplies. Comparable legal structure, donor base (American donors), and beneficiary focus (Ukrainian civilians affected by war), making it a relevant peer for fundraising channel benchmarking.
• Nova Ukraine: US-based 501(c)(3) supporting Ukraine with humanitarian aid. Listed as a mutual GTM partner with Children of Heroes, sharing donor acquisition channels, US legal structure, and overlapping program areas in humanitarian relief.
• Tabletochki Charitable Foundation: Ukrainian charity supporting children with serious illnesses. Similar operating model (Ukrainian HQ, international fundraising offices, comprehensive support programs for children) but different beneficiary definition (medical vs. war-affected)—useful as a structural parallel rather than direct competitor.
• Razom for Ukraine: Major Ukrainian humanitarian organization supporting war-affected populations including children. Listed as a mutual GTM partner of Children of Heroes, with overlapping donor base and similar mission scope, making it the most directly comparable peer.

Broad incumbents

• UNICEF Ukraine: UN agency providing large-scale child welfare and education services in Ukraine. Operates with vastly larger resources ($100M+ scale) but overlaps directly with Children of Heroes' target population (war-affected children) and service categories (psychological support, education, humanitarian aid).
• Save the Children (Ukraine Response): Global child welfare organization with significant Ukraine war response operations. Comparable in mission and beneficiary profile but operates at global scale with multi-country infrastructure; competes for institutional donor funding and corporate partnerships.
• SOS Children's Villages Ukraine: International NGO providing alternative care and family support for vulnerable children. Highly comparable in long-term child welfare mission and family-based support model, with established presence in Ukraine pre-dating the war.

Regional players

• Come Back Alive Foundation: One of Ukraine's largest war-relief charities, focused primarily on military support. Children of Heroes' Head of Communications previously worked there, indicating close ecosystem overlap; while mission focus differs (military vs. children), they compete for the same Ukrainian-war donor attention.
