Netherlands for Ukraine

What Netherlands for Ukraine does

Netherlands for Ukraine Foundation (Stichting Netherlands for Ukraine, branded NL4UA) is a Dutch ANBI-status charitable foundation established in 2022 by Kseniya Negrutsa-Godska and Bas Godska in the weeks following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It coordinates cross-border medical evacuations of wounded Ukrainian soldiers and civilians into a network of Dutch hospitals, delivers medical and humanitarian aid shipments to Ukrainian medical institutions, and provides accommodation and humanitarian support for Ukrainian refugees in the Netherlands. Its six programmatic units include the core medical evacuation and aid logistics operation, the Guardian Angels volunteer buddy system, the NL4Superhumans rehabilitation initiative (anchored by a 2,800 m² war trauma center in Dnipro opened in August 2025 and a training pipeline for 384+ Ukrainian medics), the Mission Kyiv endurance fundraising march, the annual Secret Santa gift program for vulnerable children, and targeted equipment campaigns such as Seconds to Save Lives.

The foundation's technical core is a humanitarian logistics and coordination platform: it manages medical evacuation routing between the Ukrainian Ministry of Health and Dutch medical institutions, runs a volunteer matching system for patient support, and operates a 3D prosthetics and rehabilitation training program in partnership with the Radboudumc 3D Lab. Underlying technology is intentionally light — Squarespace website, Donorbox donation platform, and standard social/communications tools — with the proprietary value residing in the institutional relationships and on-the-ground volunteer network rather than in software.

Its revenue model is a non-profit mix of four streams: individual donations (long-tail via Donorbox and direct bank transfers), corporate sponsorships (Bronze €500 / Silver €1,000 / Gold €1,500 event tiers), Dutch government grants via the Ukraine Partnership Facility (UPF) administered by RVO, and in-kind contributions of medical supplies, equipment and volunteer labor. Cumulative fundraising reached €7.6M plus €610,050 in in-kind donations as of July 2026. Go-to-market is community-led and event-driven, leveraging LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Telegram, WhatsApp, email, and earned media coverage (NOS, EenVandaag, VPRO Tegenlicht) to attract donors, volunteers and corporate partners.
