Last year, Ukrainians donated UAH 18.75 billion to the three largest funds, which is half as much as in 2022. This is evidenced by data from United 24, Come Back Alive, and the Shelter Fund, 
reports, citing the open data platform Opendatabot.
It is reported that the number of donors increased in the second half of the year, with record amounts of donations from several platforms at the end of the year.
For comparison, in 2022, the total amount of donations reached a record UAH 34.38 billion. Of this amount, 2/3 was raised in the first six months (UAH 24 billion), and the remaining UAH 10.5 billion was donated in the second half of the year.
Which fund did Ukrainians donate the most money to
United 24 became the leader among charitable organisations in 2023. The foundation managed to raise almost 2/3 of the total amount (UAH 12.07 billion). The peak of donations was in December last year (UAH 3.55 billion or 29%), which is a record amount for a month since the foundation’s inception.
United 24 works in 5 areas:
- needs of the Armed Forces – UAH 10.81 billion (90%);
- healthcare – UAH 0.76 billion (6%);
- restoration of destroyed property and infrastructure – UAH 0.25 billion (2%);
- humanitarian demining – UAH 0.13 billion (1%);
- education and science needs – UAH 0.12 billion (1%).
December was also a significant month for “Come Back Alive “, as it was then that the foundation raised 20% of all its accumulations for the year (UAH 0.9 billion). In contrast, the foundation’s share of all donations raised together with its colleagues is 24% (UAH 4.53 billion).
Only 11% of the total accumulated amount is accounted for by the Shelter Fund. The organisation raised UAH 2.14 billion last year, of which the largest amount was received in October (UAH 0.31 billion).
