American Coalition for Ukraine

What American Coalition for Ukraine does

The American Coalition for Ukraine (ACU) is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit advocacy coalition founded in 2022 by five U.S.-based nonprofits — Nova Ukraine, Razom for Ukraine, United Help Ukraine, the Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA), and the Ukrainian American Coordinating Council (UACC) — to coordinate advocacy in support of Ukraine across the United States. Headquartered at 1235 Pennsylvania Ave SE in Washington, D.C. (EIN 99-1406477), the organization has grown into an alliance of more than 100 member organizations and operates with a volunteer-run staff of 14 and a board drawn from founding and key member organizations. Its primary constituents are Ukrainian-American diaspora organizations, allied community groups, and individual advocates; the coalition's primary user outcome is sustained Congressional engagement on Ukraine-supportive legislation.

ACU's core offering is the bi-annual Ukraine Action Summit, a five-day event combining conference panels, an expo, and coordinated Congressional advocacy days. The Spring 2026 Summit drew over 700 delegates from all 50 states and Puerto Rico, who held approximately 445 Congressional meetings and helped secure more than 60 co-sponsorships on target legislation within one month. Supporting programs include the State Leader Network (organizing advocacy across all 50 states), the Emerging Leaders Program (nine-month leadership training for ages 22-40), the Andrii Sendziuk Fellowship (paid academic-year student fellowship), and the Bring Kids Back campaign (a 20,000 teddy bear installation debuted on the National Mall). Digital distribution includes an Action Center advocacy platform, fact sheets, an LTE Toolkit, and the Ukrainian Independence Day Toolkit. The organization is explicitly non-technical — it does not offer proprietary technology, AI capabilities, or APIs.

ACU's revenue model is multi-stream and typical of advocacy nonprofits: (1) tiered membership dues from $250 to $5,000 per year based on each member organization's revenue band (five tiers), (2) tax-deductible donations via PayPal, and (3) Summit registration fees ranging from $20 to $360 depending on tier (general, member, veteran, student) and pricing period. No financial figures are disclosed. The coalition is primarily a program-delivery organization, not a technology platform, and its competitive position rests on coalition network effects and nationwide distribution rather than proprietary technology.

Direct peers

• Razom for Ukraine: Founding member of ACU and a major U.S.-based Ukrainian advocacy and humanitarian organization. Razom co-creates advocacy programming with ACU (e.g., Bring Kids Back Teddy Bear Installation) and runs overlapping delegate and policy work, making it the closest peer in mission and operating model.
• Nova Ukraine: Founding member of ACU and a leading U.S.-based nonprofit providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine alongside advocacy programming. Nova Ukraine's Director of Advocacy and Engagement (Sashko Krapivkin) chairs ACU's Programming Committee, indicating deep operational overlap.
• Armenian National Committee of America (ANCA): Long-established U.S. diaspora advocacy organization running a nationwide constituent advocacy model (state chapters, Capitol Hill engagement, legislative campaigns). ANCA is a structural analog to ACU's coalition-plus-summit approach for a different foreign policy cause.
• Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA): The largest and longest-standing Ukrainian-American umbrella organization in the U.S., representing Ukrainian-American community interests in Washington. ACU's Treasurer (Mick Safron) also serves as Senior Vice President of UACC, underscoring structural overlap in advocacy and community coordination.
• Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA): Founding member of ACU and North America's oldest and largest Ukrainian women's organization. UNWLA hosts the interactive map for ACU's nationwide Independence Day Campaign and shares its proclamation toolkit, reflecting tight operational partnership.
• United Help Ukraine: Founding member of ACU; a U.S. nonprofit that has delivered over $65 million in humanitarian, medical, and psychological assistance to Ukrainians. Combines on-the-ground relief with advocacy work that closely mirrors ACU's coalition model.
• U.S.-Ukraine Foundation: Washington, D.C.-based nonprofit focused on strengthening U.S.-Ukraine ties through advocacy, democracy support, and aid programs. Operates in the same policy-and-coalition space as ACU and convenes overlapping Congressional and diaspora stakeholders.

Broad incumbents

• American Jewish Committee (AJC): Large, established U.S. advocacy organization running a global affairs program that includes constituent engagement, Congressional advocacy, and diaspora education. AJC provides a benchmark for what a scaled, institutionally mature diaspora advocacy organization looks like.

Emerging players

• Polish American Congress: U.S.-based umbrella organization coordinating Polish-American advocacy on foreign policy and community issues. Mirrors ACU's model of organizing state-level networks and lobbying Congress, though focused on a different diaspora cause.
• J Street: U.S. pro-Israel, pro-peace advocacy organization that mobilizes constituent lobbying and runs large Capitol Hill fly-ins. J Street's annual conference and policy summits offer a useful operating model comparison for ACU's summit-driven legislative strategy.
