Ukraine Relief
The Rotary Foundation, Shelter Box and More


More than 2 million people have fled Ukraine and are in dire need of emergency aid. The United Nations estimates that number could grow to as many as 5 million people displaced. Rotary clubs in Europe and around the world have stepped up their relief work, some working on the ground to help displaced families.

In response to the deepening humanitarian crisis in Ukraine, The Rotary Foundation has created an official channel for donors around the world to contribute funds to support the relief efforts underway by Rotary districts and has designated its Disaster Response Fund as the main avenue for contributions. The Rotary Foundation Trustees have decided to prioritize contributions made to the Disaster Response Fund until 30 April 2022 to support disaster response grants for districts affected by these events. Individuals and clubs are welcome to make contributions to this fund,

ShelterBox, our project partner for disaster response, is in communication with Rotarians in Eastern Europe to explore how it may offer support with temporary transitional housing and other essential supplies. You can make a contribution to ShelterBox on its website - at The Ukraine Crisis Explained - ShelterBox USA.

You may also donate directly to relief efforts underway in Rotary District 2241 (Romania and Republic of Moldova). Read the article directly below this for more specifics on that opportunity.
