We Stand with Ukraine
The Russian invasion into Ukraine continues to gain strength every day creating a humanitarian crisis that has destroyed cities and infrastructure and taken thousands of lives. More than one million people have fled the country since the war began and many more have stayed to fight for their country, their families and their freedom. The courage, strength and passion of the Ukrainian people is unmatched by their aggressors, but they need the force of the world behind them to continue to defend their lives. Let’s stand up against oppression and join the fight for independence, freedom and democracy.
As a global platform, GivePulse is committed to enabling everyone in the world to lift their community to new heights. Collectively, our network can encourage every person to make a difference. We have set up a fund to match 100% of our employee contributions in support in Ukraine and have created a resource list for individuals looking to offer support and for those in need of support.
