More Than a Report: The Work of Ukraine’s Community Foundations 2022-2025

More Than a Report:  The Work of Ukraine’s Community Foundations 2022-2025

This is the story of how local leadership has transformed from a theory into the most powerful force for survival and development in Ukraine. It unfolds in dozens of cities and villages — from unconquered Kherson to rear-line Dubno, from border Snovsk to unbreakable Kharkiv.

This document is not merely a report, but a consolidated account of the work of hundreds of practitioners and dozens of community foundations, reflecting the path from the shock of 2022 to the systemic changes of 2024. The information presented here clearly shows how the network of community foundations in Ukraine works during a full-scale invasion.
