What CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION «CHARITABLE FOUNDATION «KHARKIV HELP» does

Kharkiv Help is a Ukrainian charitable foundation (non-profit) established in February 2022 in direct response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, headquartered in Kharkiv at the epicenter of the conflict. It supports active military personnel, veterans, and families affected by the Russian-Ukrainian war, with an explicit mission to preserve the mental health of servicemembers and veterans and to support their reintegration into civilian life. Programs are organized as a portfolio of charitable projects — psychological support trainings for military personnel (289 trainings reaching 3,500+ soldiers in 2023), individual consultations for children aged 3-16 (~200 consultations in 2022), evacuation vehicle procurement and transfer to military units (six or more vehicles delivered), weekly support circles for family members of deployed soldiers, online sports training for war-affected children, and a road-safety reflective vest challenge for children in Kharkiv.

The organization does not develop proprietary technology platforms or software products; service delivery is conducted directly by a small in-house team (reported as 10 personnel, including a psychologist, lawyer, accountant, communications manager, project manager, and logistics/procurement lead) alongside partner specialists such as child psychologist Oleksandra Kolodochkina and sports coach Olena Pryvalova. Most team members worked on a volunteer basis during 2022-2023. The foundation funds its work exclusively through charitable donations and grants from Ukrainian and foreign individuals, Ukrainian businesses (e.g., LLC "Pro-Pharma UA"), and international donors (e.g., COOL AIR RENTALS LTD in Canada, Atria Brokers FZCO in the UAE), accepting IBAN bank transfers (UAH, USD, EUR), PrivatBank and Monobank card payments, and PayPal. It has no commercial products, no pricing tiers, and operates as a single-country, regionally focused organization in the Kharkiv region.

Scale indicators6 records

Emerging players

• Superhumans Center: Ukrainian prosthetic and rehabilitation center for civilians and soldiers injured by the war. Adjacent — focused on physical rather than psychological rehabilitation — but serves overlapping beneficiaries and competes for similar institutional donor attention.
• Tabletochki: Ukrainian charitable foundation supporting children with cancer and their families. Comparable as a domestically-rooted Ukrainian charity serving a war-affected child beneficiary base, though focused on a different primary problem.
• Veteran Hub: Ukraine-based nonprofit supporting veterans' transition to civilian life through community, employment, and psychosocial programs. Directly comparable to Kharkiv Help's veteran reintegration segment and emerging as an overlapping service provider.

Direct peers

• Come Back Alive: One of Ukraine's largest charitable foundations supporting the Armed Forces with equipment, training, and aid. Highly comparable to Kharkiv Help's mission of directly supporting military personnel and defenders through charitable donations.
• Dignitas Ukraine: Ukrainian organization focused on psychological support and reintegration of military veterans and their families. Directly comparable to Kharkiv Help's mental-health-first veteran and family support mission.
• Razom for Ukraine: US-based Ukrainian nonprofit delivering humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and support to affected populations. Comparable as a diaspora-driven charitable foundation channeling international donations into frontline humanitarian work.
• Voices of Children: Ukrainian charitable foundation providing psychological and psychosocial support to children affected by the Russo-Ukrainian war. Directly comparable to Kharkiv Help's child psychological-support program and trauma-counseling use cases.
• Nova Ukraine: US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit providing humanitarian aid to Ukraine, including medical supplies, food, and evacuation support. Comparable as a similarly structured international donor-aggregation charitable organization supporting war-affected populations.
• Unbroken (National Rehabilitation Center): Lviv-based national rehabilitation center providing prosthetics, reconstructive surgery, and psychological rehabilitation for war-affected adults and children. Comparable to Kharkiv Help's veteran reintegration and psychological rehabilitation focus, though operating at materially larger scale.

Broad incumbents

• Ukrainian Red Cross Society: Ukraine's primary humanitarian-aid organization providing emergency relief, medical care, and social support across the country. A broader incumbent in the same humanitarian-aid space as Kharkiv Help, operating at substantially greater scale and geographic reach.
