About the Foundation UNION



Kherson Regional Charitable Foundation "Union" was created in 2011 to improve community relations and establish a democratic civil society in Ukraine. The foundation promotes human rights and protects the population from negative effects.

Foundation in its work is focusing on the use of new media technologies that leading experts in the US and Europe use to create a platform of socially active people who are willing to change themselves and positively change the space around them.

We believe that self-development aimed at community development is the basis of positive changes in society.

In 2022-2025, the Fund will carry out its activities aimed at resisting the Russian full-scale invasion of Ukraine, supporting the civilian population that was forced to remain under temporary occupation, as well as in the front-line de-occupied communities of Kherson Oblast, strengthening public security in communities, the assistance of the State Emergency Service, the police, and establishing coordination and interaction between various stakeholders for recovery and reconstruction.


Approaches in the work

Each year, members of the Foundation determine priority areas of work for a year or two, taking into account the country's situation, the needs of local communities, the development of modern Internet technologies, and more.
