Nova Ukraine is a US-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2014 that delivers humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and services to communities in Ukraine.[2][5] Its name translates as "New Ukraine". As of 2025, the organization delivered over 130 million dollars worth of aid.[4]
Its co-founders and cochairs were awarded the Order of Merit (Ukraine) 3rd class in 2022 and 2023 by President Volodymyr Zelensky.[6][7] In 2025, the Ukrainian Focus magazine ranked Nova Ukraine among 'most impactful Ukrainians' as the #5 volunteer organization.[8]
History and founding
In March 2014, in the aftermath of the Euromaidan movement, a coalition of Ukrainian-American volunteers established Nova Ukraine in response to Russia’s annexation of Crimea, aiming to coordinate grassroots relief efforts.[9][10] The organization hosted cultural events and advocacy rallies in the San Francisco Bay Area,[11] coordinated multimodal aid shipments to Ukraine, and partnered with relief organizations such as UNICEF and local volunteer networks.[12][13][14][15][16]
The founding years
In 2014, Nova Ukraine co-organized concerts in San Francisco that raised nearly $100,000 in humanitarian aid for Ukraine, supporting internally displaced persons and families from conflict zones.[17] Ticket sales from a performance by Okean Elzy funded $23,000 worth of medical equipment for hospitals in Ukraine.[18][19][20] A performance by Skryabin (band) in San Francisco raised funds for Nova Ukraine's charitable projects,[21] and a fundraiser with Eurovision winner Ruslana funded support for displaced people.[22]
The Heart2Heart program
Launched in 2015, Heart2Heart is a long-term initiative where volunteers in California collect and ship donations, such as clothing and food, to vulnerable populations in Ukraine, including disadvantaged families, orphans, and disabled individuals.[23] In 2018, the Heart2Heart program[24] delivered 80,000 pounds of humanitarian aid (donations from ordinary people) in Ukraine, spending over $40K on warehousing and transportation.[23] In 2019, over 55,000 pounds of humanitarian aid was delivered to Ukraine, with $54.5K spent. Each year, the organization delivered some 600 pounds of Christmas and New Year presents to children across Ukraine.[25]
COVID years
In 2020 and 2021, Nova Ukraine worked to counter the coronavirus pandemic. It raised funds to buy personal protective equipment for doctors,[26] then purchased over 4200 FPP2 respirators and distributed them to 14 hospitals throughout Ukraine. It acquired 2,000 bio-costumes to protect doctors and nurses, as well as 17 oxygen concentrators that it distributed to hospitals across Ukraine 2020[27] and 46 additional oxygen concentrators distributed in 2021.[28] The Heart2Heart program continued supplying essential goods to children and adults with disabilities. Nova Ukraine also supported Ukrainian veterans and soldiers, contributed to the ENGin project for youth language skills[29] and promoted Ukrainian cinema.
Supporting Ukraine during full-scale invasion
Nova Ukraine started expanding its operations several weeks before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.[4] It organized street rallies in support of Ukraine[30] in the San Francisco Bay Area, mobilized local diaspora,[15][16] and provided commentary on developing events to local,[31][32] national[33][34] and international[35][36] media. It launched emergency aid efforts and raised funds jointly with UNICEF USA.[37] Nova Ukraine used software tools to streamline its operations.[38] To enhance aid delivery, the organization implemented a grants management platform on Salesforce.[39] Throughout the year, the organization delivered over 1 million meals and 100,000 batches of supplies, mobilized over 3,500 volunteers, and provided assistance to over a million internally displaced persons and refugees globally.[40]
As of 2023, Nova Ukraine provided direct assistance to over 65,000 beneficiaries and distributed more than $50 million in humanitarian relief goods.[41][42] To manage the scale of its operations, Nova Ukraine established teams specializing in medical aid, public infrastructure in Ukraine, people support (vulnerable populations, education, culture) and advocacy, each with heavy reliance on unpaid volunteer work.[43]
Medical work
Since February 2022, Nova Ukraine has coordinated with national government, regional authorities, and local hospitals to address shortages of medications, diagnostics, and power-independent devices, while also establishing pain treatment and rehabilitation initiatives for war-injured civilians and veterans.[44][45][46]
In 2022, the organization implemented a reactive model to meet critical needs for medications and consumables, filtering multidimensional requests from hospitals into prioritized packages within budget constraints. It sourced equipment from Ukraine and through international procurement.
In March 2022, Nova Ukraine partnered with several Ukrainian organizations, including the Ukrainian Student Association at Stanford, to deliver $3.5 million worth of medical supplies, such as bandages, surgery kits, and pediatric medicines, to Ukraine. The supplies were flown from Seattle to Poland and then transported to Ukraine for distribution by the Ministry of Health.[47][48][49]
The organization also worked with Unite with Ukraine and the Ukrainian World Congress to purchase 9,000 medical tourniquets.[50]
In 2023, Nova Ukraine responded to emergencies in Ukraine and modernized healthcare facilities in the region. With support from partners like Zdorovi and funding from Pioneer Natural Resources, Nova Ukraine provided modern equipment such as portable incubators and electric generators to 50 neonatal hospitals and clinics,[51] purchased six ambulances and had them delivered through Enkidu.[52]
By 2023, when Russian attacks systematically damaged medical infrastructure and caused frequent power outages, Nova Ukraine provided generators, autonomous lighting systems, and mobile diagnostic devices such as portable ultrasound and X-ray units for frontline and field use. In total, Nova Ukraine’s HEAL initiative supported over 600 medical institutions, distributed a million dollars worth of medical packs, delivered more than 2,000 hospital beds and surgical tables, and provided over 47,000 surgical instruments and 37 prostheses for complex amputation patients.[45] One year after the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine, San Francisco Chronicle reported that Nova Ukraine had distributed $55 million in humanitarian aid, more than half of which went to emergency first aid, hospital medicine, supplies, and medical equipment.”[53]
Nova Ukraine signed a two-year Memorandum of Cooperation with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine to provide medical equipment, prosthetics, medications, and rehabilitation programs.[54] Delivered equipment included ventilators, X-ray devices, ultrasound systems, and chemotherapy medicine, in response to numerous hospital requests.[55][56][57] Nova Ukraine launched the “Ukraine Without Pain” partnership with the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, aiming to establish a nationwide network of pain treatment centres, train specialists in modern pain medicine protocols, and equip facilities with rehabilitation technologies for chronic pain and post-traumatic recovery. Throughout 2024, the initiative distributed medical equipment and supplies valued at $6 million to over 120 specialized hospitals in collaboration with Medical Bridges and MedGlobal.[45] The organization’s first-aid support in 2024 included the distribution of 7,541 individual first aid kits, 199 pieces of mobile equipment (including ultrasound and defibrillators), 63 generators, 22 operating tables, 155 tactical medicine backpacks for paramedics and combat medics, 43,645 tourniquets, and 65 training mannequins across 10+ training centres. Through Project MedHub, Nova Ukraine assisted more than 13,000 wounded defenders and delivered aid worth $150,000, supporting military medics and medical evacuation units.[45]
In 2025, Nova Ukraine's contributions have been recognized nationally: it received first place in the “Charity in Healthcare” category at Charitable Ukraine 2024.[46]
Public infrastructure in Ukraine
In 2022, San Jose Fire Department donated safety and firefighting equipment worth more than $1 million to Ukrainian first responders, to be distributed by relief organizations including Nova Ukraine and Firefighter Air Ukraine. The donation included self-contained breathing apparatus packs, regulators, air cylinders, and masks.[58][59] Additionally, Nova Ukraine, in collaboration with Firefighter Aid Ukraine, collected over $3 million worth of rescue equipment and medical supplies from Canadian fire stations, which were delivered to State Emergency Service of Ukraine.[60]
In January 2023, Nova Ukraine and Razom were jointly awarded the world record for the largest number of assembled electricity generators (1263) in the shortest time (30 days).[61] Working with Nevados, Nova Ukraine helped install solar panels in schools in Chernihiv, helping them remain operational during power outages caused by the 2022 invasion.[62] The organization also partnered with the Ministry of Education to enhance digital education and promote STEM programs across Ukraine.[63][64]
People support
From the beginning of Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Nova Ukraine supported evacuation efforts in Ukraine helping people relocate away from the frontlines.[65][66][67] Nova Ukraine established a team to support Ukrainian refugees in the U.S., Mexico, and Europe.[68] Volunteers provided aid at refugee camps, helped families apply for humanitarian parole, and offered legal assistance, particularly at border crossings like San Ysidro.[69][70][71][72] The organization also helped refugees find housing in the US and Europe[73] and compiled updates on legal developments.[74]
Following the destruction of the Kakhovka Dam in 2023, Nova Ukraine delivered over 35 tons of food and water to 12,000 flooding victims. The organization also facilitated the evacuation of over 3,700 people and animals and provided essential equipment for first responders.[75][76]
Since 2023, Nova Ukraine collaborated with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation to establish 30 after-school centers under the "Zmistovno" brand, offering educational resources to children facing challenges due to the war and the COVID-19 pandemic.[77] In partnership with the Howard G. Buffett Foundation and Ukrainian Railways, Nova Ukraine established 111 Points of Invincibility that provided shelter, charging stations, and Wi-Fi routers to 1.3 million people in Ukraine. The organization installed a water treatment plant in Kherson and delivered generators to hospitals.[78][79][80]
The organization partnered with the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development to provide the Okhmatdyt Pediatric Clinic in Kyiv with a pediatric mobility rehabilitation system.[81]
Advocacy
Nova Ukraine directors participated in flag-raising ceremonies at the San Francisco City Hall and San Jose City Hall dedicated to the Independence Day of Ukraine (in August) and marking anniversaries of Russian Invasion of Ukraine (in February),[82][83] as well as Santa Clara City Council meetings and Santa Clara County events.[84]
In 2022, Nova Ukraine became a founding member of the American Coalition for Ukraine to participate in Ukraine advocacy initiatives.[85] It contributed to shaping the US policy toward Ukraine[86][87] by co-organizing Ukraine Action Summits in Washington, DC [85] and by engaging mass-media.
In 2023, alongside Razom and other partners, Nova Ukraine hosted a delegation of religious leaders from the All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations (UCCRO) in Washington, D.C., to raise awareness about the impact of the war on religious freedom.[88][89][90][91]
Structure and governance
The Board of Directors, chaired by Nick Bilogorskiy as of 2025, oversees Nova Ukraine's strategic direction and executive recruitment.[92] The Board is supported by the Advisory Board and an executive leadership team comprising the Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO), Chief Operating Officer (COO), and Chief Development Officer (CDO), along with Vice Presidents and Director for Ukraine who report to the Board.[93] The leadership also includes team leads, and supports a diverse volunteer base representing a range of cultural and professional backgrounds.[94][95] The organization primarily conducts its official business in English, while also incorporating the Ukrainian language. Nova Ukraine provides aid both directly and through collaborations with hospitals, local volunteer groups, state services, local authorities, and Ukrainian manufacturing and distribution firms.[5] Additionally, the organization actively engages in political and cultural advocacy in the United States and is a founding member of the American Coalition for Ukraine.[85]
Nova Ukraine is headquartered in Palo Alto, California.[17] Since 2022, it has established volunteer chapters across eight U.S. states (California, Washington, Nevada, Utah, New York, Illinois, Texas) and the District of Columbia. It also opened offices in Ukraine.[96] In 2022, Nova Ukraine increased aid and services, establishing a subsidiary office in Kyiv and expanding operational capabilities with reporting teams and warehouses in multiple Ukrainian cities.[97] In 2022, the organization provided an estimated $55.5 million in humanitarian aid, encompassing food, medical supplies, and other critical resources for affected communities both within Ukraine and among refugees abroad.[8]
Financial performance
Nova Ukraine publishes its financial and impact reports online,[98] detailing expenditures by category and other key metrics. Its IRS Form 990 filings accessible through third-party platforms demonstrate its revenue sources, expenses, assets, and financial management transparency.[4]
| Fiscal year ending Dec. | Contributions (Revenue) | Contributions as fraction of total revenue | Investment income | Other revenue | Total assets | Total liabilities | Notable expenses (Other salaries and wages) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | $31,261,335 | 99.6% | $135,360 | $4,509 | $16,826,932 | $147,878 | $114,000 |
| 2022 | $75,171,152 | 100% | $24,969 | $10,987 | $19,008,324 | $374,756 | $29,000 |
| 2021 | $365,627 | 100% | $0 | $0 | $151,012 | $1 | $0 |
| 2020 | $363,158 | 100% | $0 | $0 | $79,884 | $0 | $0 |
Nova Ukraine's revenue is primarily drawn from contributions, which comprise nearly all of the organization's income in each fiscal year. Investment income and other revenue represent small fractions of total revenue. Expenses for salaries have been modest in relation to the large scale of contributions, with salaries such as $114,000 reported for the General Manager in 2023. Total assets have grown substantially from around $151,000 in 2021 to nearly $17 million in 2023, but liabilities remain low relative to assets.
According to its financial statements, the organization’s expense ratio has remained below the average for U.S. non-profits, with overhead costs in the low single digits.[98]
Awards and recognition
In March 2022, the National Philanthropic Trust profiled Nova Ukraine.[5] In 2022[99] and 2023,[100] Nova Ukraine’s co-founder Ostap Korkuna participated in recorded interviews as part of a Charity Navigator review, where he discussed the organization's operations and achievements. As a result, Charity Navigator awarded Nova Ukraine 100% score for leadership and flexibility. In 2024, Charity Navigator granted Nova Ukraine a four-star rating, citing its accountability and financial metrics.[1] In 2025 GuideStar, a non-profit ranking platform managed by Candid, awarded the organization a Platinum Transparency Seal for its financial and operational transparency.[101]

Scrutiny and challenges
Aid restrictions
Nova Ukraine declined to provide lethal aid to active combatants because major corporate donation platforms require nonprofits to verify their aid does not support active combat.[108][109] Internal discussions acknowledged the practical difficulty in distinguishing dual-use items like vehicles that serve both civilian and military purposes.[110] Nova Ukraine focused on distributing emergency medical supplies to Ukraine, including tourniquets and first-aid kits for civilians and first responders. It also provides help to wounded defenders undergoing medical treatment.
Partnering with religious communities
The organization partnered with both secular and religious organizations to distribute aid and coordinate advocacy in the U.S. It funded humanitarian projects through Protestant, Evangelical, Orthodox, and Greek-Catholic churches and institutions. This approach allowed the organization to deliver aid efficiently through trusted local partners regardless of religious affiliation.[111]
Donor fatigue
In mid-2022, Nick Bilogorskiy, cochair of Nova Ukraine, stated that while donations had been strong at the outset of the war,[36] contributions had “trickled down” about 70 days after the invasion began, indicating waning donor engagement as the conflict continued.[112] By late 2023, broader reporting on Ukraine’s aid context also described donor fatigue among international partners as the prolonged conflict strained attention and financial support, with analysts observing rising “tiredness” among donors.[113]
Destroyed medical aid warehouse
In November 2025, during a large Russian missile and drone attack on Lviv, one of Nova Ukraine’s medical aid warehouses in the city was destroyed. The facility, which stored medical supplies and equipment intended to support more than 600 hospitals and clinics across Ukraine, was hit on 19 November 2025, resulting in the loss of significant humanitarian aid, though no Nova Ukraine personnel were reported injured. [114] Representatives of the organization characterized the destruction as a "severe blow" to medical logistics and emphasized efforts to redistribute and replace lost supplies to maintain ongoing support for healthcare facilities. [115]
Media scrutiny
Local and international media provided coverage of Nova Ukraine's humanitarian operations. Their coverage generally reported Nova Ukraine's operational scope without raising critical concerns.
In the San Francisco Bay Area, NPR/KQED hosted Nova Ukraine leaders for live discussions.[31][32] ABC7 News reviewed the organization's refugee support for U.S.-bound individuals.[69][65] NBC Bay Area examined humanitarian assistance following the June 2023 Destruction of the Kakhovka Dam.[75] The The San Diego Union Tribune and Del Mar Times covered refugee support across the Mexico border crossing.[72][71] Seattle Times[49] and NBC Right Now[47] reported on medical supply airlifts from Seattle Tacoma Airport to Poland in March 2022.
National media outlets interviewed Nova Ukraine leadership and explored its operations. Fox News[33] and Bloomberg TV[34] aired live interviews at the outbreak of the invasion in 2022. The Wall Street Journal examined how Nova Ukraine assisted refugees with housing and legal challenges. Newsweekсontextualized the organization's advocacy for U.S. support to Ukraine.[86]
International media focused on Nova Ukraine's operations and diaspora leadership. The Central News Agency (Taiwan) reported on street rallies organized in February 2022.[30] CNN International reviewed evacuations from Mariupol and fundraising dynamics.[35][36] Helsingin Sanomat examined Nova Ukraine's use of technology and profiled its directors.[38] Voice of America Ukrainian produced a television program documenting Nova Ukraine's early history and impact.[16][15]
