Subscription levelsContributions are credited to the Charity Organisation “Community Foundation Sumy” (EDRPOU 39364679). Transfers are charitable donations and are not refundable. Funds go to supplying the Defence Forces — units in the Sumy region and soldiers from Sumy on other fronts — and to helping civilians affected by the war.
About
Eleven years on the border
The Foundation was created by Sumy’s volunteer community in 2014, when the war in the east began. By 2022 more than 10 million hryvnias had passed through it: equipment, gear and food for soldiers in Donbas, tactical medicine training, work with the families of the fallen.
On 24 February 2022 the Sumy region became one of the first directions of the invasion. Everyone connected to the Foundation gathered on Kuznechna Street, where the office used to be. The first days were chaos: humanitarian aid knee-deep and no division of work. In early March the flows were separated — food, medicine, gear, equipment — and the decision was made to cover what helps carry out combat tasks and save lives.
We supply units in the Sumy region and soldiers from Sumy serving in the Defence Forces on other fronts.
01
We cover the expensive things
Personal gear for soldiers is covered by the state’s partners. We take what they do not have: vehicles, thermal imagers, sights, quadcopters, border surveillance cameras.
02
We verify the need
If we do not understand how exactly a thing will be used, we decline. Expensive equipment goes to a unit, never to one person.
03
Training first, kits second
NATO-standard first-aid kits are not handed out on request: the unit takes a tactical medicine course first. Four hours for the basic level, two days for the full one.
04
No salaries
Foundation volunteers take no salary: donations go to purchases. The Foundation’s administration — accounting and reporting — was financially supported by the International Renaissance Foundation.

What Cukr does
Since 2022 the Foundation’s communications have been run by Cukr — a Sumy outlet funded by its own readers. Cukr announces the campaigns, prepares the monthly reports and shows where the money went.
The Foundation and Cukr are separate organisations. The Foundation raises and buys, Cukr tells the story. No donations go to Cukr’s accounts.
We have to come up with ways to make our campaign more interesting than another campaign, or simply than other content on social media.
