Since 2014, the Come Back Alive Foundation, dedicated to competent assistance to the army, has raised more than 11 billion hryvnias, or about 341 million dollars. In 2022, it also became the first Ukrainian charity foundation licensed to purchase military and dual-use goods. Read into the insides of how the foundation raises substantial funds in an opinion piece by Oleh Karpenko, Deputy Director of the Come Back Alive Foundation 👇 https://lnkd.in/eZYEm88n

I am so proud of the work my classmates (Jessica Whitney, MBA, Millie Hale, → Cristina P., Bradford Waldie, Austin McKinney, Stephan Azab, and Jordan Craft) and I have done creating the 2010 Endowment for Cadet Morale with the Air Force Academy Foundation and Association of Graduates - U.S. Air Force Academy. $0.93 per dollar donated to the Class of 2010 Endowment for Cadet Morale goes directly to the cadets. So, for every $20.10 monthly donation, $18.69 is provided to the fund monthly. Since its inception in 2020, seven cadet squadrons have received $5,000 to spend however they see fit. We have seen improvements to SARs, Top Golf parties, video game system purchases, squadron bars created, and restaurant outings (Raising Canes and Chiptole). We make a tangible impact on cadets at USAFA every semester. As a class, we don't micromanage how cadets spend the money. The winning squadron AOC works with their cadet leadership to create an initial proposal for how the funds are spent, including an itemized breakdown. USAFA and the Association and Foundation review this proposal, and then once approved, the Association and Foundation work directly with the cadet leadership to purchase the items. You do not need to be in the Class of 2010 to contribute—everyone is welcome to join our team dedicated to helping cadets currently at USAFA raise their morale in a way that is authentic to their current desires. See the link below for more information about the fund, who has already donated, impact reports about how the cadets have spent the money, two videos of squadrons updating their SARs, and how you can donate. Please share the link with your network if you think what we do is worthwhile. We aim to have 250 people donate to the fund and at least 50 of those individuals making monthly recurring donations of $10 or more by 1 September. Ultimately, we are looking to grow the fund from its current $170K to $200K by the end of the year. https://lnkd.in/gN-Xpy9S #1day1usafa #usafa #2010 #morale #usafaaog

✨TREND 4/12 Involvement in #charity and #volunteering is growing steadily. #Ukrainians direct most of their support to the Armed Forces of #Ukraine. Over the past year, the number of people who help through volunteering, defense activities and support of the frontline has doubled. This growth is due to those who wanted to join in - the results of Gradus Research showed that the number of those who only intended to join in but did not do so decreased compared to last year. Military purposes have become the top charitable donations, with almost two-thirds of Ukrainians donating to them. Such a significant level of involvement in supporting the Armed Forces once again confirms the high level of trust in them. For the full list of 12 trends that will influence Ukrainian #society in 2024, please follow the link https://lnkd.in/dMWrWfp5 #survey #social #monitoring

Get your tissues ready

Long story short. Once, Anastasiia Slipets and I decided to raffle books for donations to support Ukrainian Armed Forces. After a couple of success cases we realized that systemic approach is a key for maximizing impact. And voila, [do]nation book appeared — a project where we talk about books and fundraise for the military. Then Dmytro Sitalo joined us with a ton of ideas and an inexhaustible energy supply. And here we are! During the existence of the project, we've raised about UAH 200,000. Our plans for the future are more than ambitious. For me personally, [do]nation book is also about the power of ideas that unite. "Nations are made of people who read the same books" If you are intersting in joining us, please let me know. We will definitely find ways for collaboration🚀

Hi LinkedIn Community I want to ask that anyone who sees this shares, likes, comments etc to maximise visibility and raise as much money for veterans aid as possible My good friend and veteran, Philip J Carpenter MSc, DipFA, CeMAP, CeRER is running the Everest marathon in May to raise money for Veterans Aid. He’s been training like a trooper, and putting his body through hell (think he’s lost over 20kg since he started training). So, if you see this, please have a read of his story, donate if you can and most importantly, share, comment or like so as many people see this as possible https://lnkd.in/eKdDgbgF

Armed Forces personnel are known for their strength, their courage, their ability to face tough times and just keep pushing through. So recognising that you need help and support can be a hard realisation to face - and reaching out and actually asking for that help can feel difficult. In fact, it takes a brave person to ask for help. It takes strength and courage to recognise that you need support and to actually ask for it - it's a step that can often feel impossible. And that is why it is important to know what support options are out there. So for Veterans attending the Ski-habilitation Week, not only is it a place of support and guidance, but it can be the first stepping stone on the way back to a fuller and more positive future. https://lnkd.in/guWgFtXT To donate- Text VETERANS to 70470 to donate £10 Or VETERANS20 to donate £20 Texts cost the chosen donation amount plus one standard network rate message
