Help Ukrainian refugees find safety

We are helping people reach safety, providing them with food, clothing, medical, transportation, security support, and coordination. Your donations are essential for providing the necessary support to make this happen.

Sports Catalyst

Over twenty years ago, a network of sports leaders in Ukraine was started with a unique vision for teaching the principles of leadership through sports. Formalized in 2018 under the name Sports Catalyst, the network has grown to include over two thousand leaders in cities all across Ukraine.

SportsCatalyst has long-term partnerships with 57 organizations and thousands of leaders in over 200 global locations.

Since the war began, the SportsCatalyst leadership team has worked tirelessly to help get people to safety.

100% of your funds go to support the efforts of the Sports Catalyst Ukrainian response and specifically the people who need it most.

Command Help Center includes 14 leaders across Ukraine, Romania and the US who stay in ongoing 24/7 communication for quick, agile decision making.

Information Center that reaches out to people located in dangerous regions to encourage them to leave now to avoid rescue operations later and offer escort to the border. They are provided with phone numbers and addresses of a safe Help Center location in Western Ukraine.

Transportation Fleet which is operated by volunteers who risk their lives to drive people to train stations of safe places. They are physically and mentally strong volunteers from among MMA fighters, boxers and others.

119 Help Centers are set up in the 3 Ukrainian states of Khmelnytsky, Ternopil and Zakarpattia in gyms, offices, homes and schools. Over 12,000 people pass through these centers every day receiving food and basic needs. They also provide fitness/sports activities plus online support of psychologists and education classes for school children.

Financial Center which checks with the Help Centers and Transportation fleet drivers to ensure they have the financial resources they require for refugee's basic needs.

Welcome Team which provides those who have crossed the border with food, blankets and temporary housing for 3 days in Poland, Romania and Moldova through Help Centers in each country.

Housing in Europe which is provided in England, Germany, Latvia, Portugal, The Netherlands, etc. for 1-2 months. Our Information Center collects contacts of those who are willing to host, and the IT team has a chat board in Telegram for application for these host homes. Responses and locations of host home are given immediately. Coordinators in Poland, Romania and Moldova are working to establish long term housing.
