What Prytula Foundation Usa does

Prytula Foundation USA is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization established on May 22, 2024 in Chicago, Illinois (EIN 99-1441326), operating as the U.S. affiliate of Ukrainian founder Serhiy Prytula's broader humanitarian initiative. The foundation channels charitable contributions from American individuals, Ukrainian diaspora communities, and institutional partners into humanitarian aid for Ukraine during wartime, with programmatic emphasis on logistics and transportation (procurement of vehicles such as Toyota Hilux fleets for frontline and evacuation use), humanitarian demining (co-funded pilot testing of Ukrainian-developed ZMIY robotic demining complex and ST1 aerial reconnaissance drone across 226 hectares in Kharkiv region), the Safe Communities Initiative (computing infrastructure, secure communications, and protective equipment for frontline regions), medical aid, and education reconstruction (including full funding of a school shelter in Kharkiv region).

Operationally the foundation is a procurement-and-deployment organization rather than a technology developer: it sources, configures, and delivers third-party equipment — vehicles, drones, Starlink terminals, power stations, laptops, server hardware, and demining robots — to humanitarian end-users in Ukraine. It does not develop proprietary software, has no public API or SDK, and its AI footprint is confined to AI-assisted features embedded in procured equipment (drone-based object recognition for demining, NVIDIA H100-based coordination workflows). Governance and financial controls include a first-year independent audit by Wipfli LLP (a top-20 U.S. audit firm) confirming GAAP compliance, a Candid Platinum Seal of Transparency placing it in the top 0.1% of U.S. charities on transparency, and a stated administrative expense ratio under 0.8%.

The revenue model is purely donation-driven: one-time and recurring contributions from individuals via the foundation's website; corporate and institutional grants; micro-donations through the Walmart Round-Up for Charity program (launched December 2025); and cross-border giving from Australian donors via the Myriad Australia partnership (June 2026). All donations are tax-deductible under 501(c)(3) status. Go-to-market combines direct-to-donor digital fundraising, high-touch outreach to U.S. and Canadian grantmakers by the founder, in-person diaspora community events, retail round-up integration, and institutional partnerships (European Business Association, U.S.-Ukraine Business Council). Cumulative charitable contributions raised since founding through the 2025 Annual Report totaled $5.8 million, supporting the procurement of 164 vehicles, 178 demining technology units, and 745 communications/energy equipment units, with no equity investors and no cap-table — funding flows entirely from charitable giving.
