This thread is for providing relief for Ukraine and possible Charities you can donate to.

These are the groups we've vetted. If you donate to others, particularly those that aren't reputable, you run the risk of identity theft, misappropriation of your funds, or your money being managed by people with connections to the far right, due to Ukraine's history.

Thank you for doing good things, goons.

So uh, This War of Mine is having a sale and donating the profits to the Ukrainian red cross.

Its 5 bucks for an amazing base game, and a little more for all the DLC extras.

I felt it belonged here.

Potential Gangtag by goon Loden Taylor

:siren: FYI if you have 3 gangtags, you will either have to choose one to replace or marquee them! So be warned!



:siren: The following orgs have questionable activities or associations and we don't recommend donating to them:
The Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF) is linked to far-right Ukrainian Nationalist / Banderites.
The Ukrainian Congress Committee of America (UCCA) is involved with historical rehabilitation/revisionism of far-right figures, including some who committed war crimes.
The Ukrainian National Federation (UNF) openly states they consider themselves to be a spiritual successor to the right-wing ultranationalist OUN.
Razom for Ukraine is a group tied to several Banderite/Far Right groups. They were attached to the Humble Bundle (Thanks to Paul_soccer12 for this info)
Come Back Alive supplies military equipment and training including to Azov Battalion.

I haven't gone back through the shitshow that was the first 50 pages of the Ukraine thread to figure out how much my stupid :toxx: was supposed to cost me (gently caress you putin :argh:) so I guessed and rounded up.



Take pity on me I've been working 16 hour days and my idiot dog literally broke his loving eyeball Sunday night.

I've had a monthly donation to MSF for years, but I can certainly send some more their way.




E: Upped my monthly donation too, for good measure.

E2: I don't need the gang tag.

As someone who works in fundraising, I just want to throw in a plug for folks becoming monthly donors to some of these orgs. Groups like MSF, International Committee of the Red Cross, UNICEF, UNHCR, IRC, and PIH are amazing groups that will virtually always be on these lists of "who to send money to when crisis happens and people need immediate help." One-off gifts during emergencies are truly helpful and I'm not knocking them, but these orgs budget, plan, and build up resources based on predictable revenue flows and giving monthly is tremendously helpful to them in that regard. Pick your favorite(s) and toss them a few bucks a month. It's easier for you, easier for them, and doesn't take away from your ability to send additional gifts when crisis happens.

Stay strong, Ukraine. I feel for the soon to be refugees of war. For whatever reason, this whole scenario has got me hosed up in the head. I have existing mental issues, but this is just disgusting to me. I will donate when I can.

Having thought about this some more, I think I'll just be happy I was able to donate. I don't need a tag.

I hope anybody lurking here can donate to an aid organization too. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people who need (or will need) the help.

Since my list of tags is getting pretty long, you can replace the "I want nothing" one. Two USPOL tags is already enough.

I appreciate the effort of the mods, but I mostly posted my donation here just to encourage others to donate as well, I don't need a gang tag. Thank you for putting one together though.

Nothing against the idea, I just generally turn down things as rewards for donations as a personal rule.
