Nova Ukraine’s Impact Report, April-June 2025

Nova Ukraine delivers humanitarian aid to Ukraine, Q2 2025
Donate

With the russian invasion in its fourth year, the human and economic toll on the people of Ukraine remains profound. Families continue to endure unimaginable hardship, communities struggle under the strain of conflict, and the nation’s economy faces severe disruption. Yet, in the face of these challenges, Nova Ukraine has stood unwaveringly beside those in need — delivering lifesaving aid, sustaining critical relief programs on the ground, and amplifying Ukrainian voices here in the United States.

Nova Ukraine’s advocacy efforts have given Ukrainian Americans a powerful platform to share their experiences and needs directly with elected officials. By organizing meetings on Capitol Hill, facilitating conversations with elected officials and policymakers, Nova Ukraine has ensured that the critical needs of Ukraine — humanitarian relief, economic stabilization, and military assistance — remain at the forefront of U.S. foreign-policy discussions.

The Board of Directors has focused this quarter on strengthening our organizational foundation. We have:

  • Defined our Four Pillars of Impact — Heal, Build, Empower, Advocate, — and worked to ensure that every program, from emergency medical aid to civil-society capacity building, neatly aligns with one pillar. This clarity enables us to allocate resources more effectively, measure outcomes more precisely, and communicate impact more transparently.
  • Clarified our governance structure to foster robust oversight and streamlined decision-making. The Board of Directors is entrusted with setting Nova Ukraine’s strategic direction and recruiting exceptional executive leadership. We are supported by an Advisory Board of seasoned experts who counsel on policy, partnerships, and program design.
  • Enhanced Supervisory Oversight, whereby key activities conducted in Ukraine are reviewed
    and approved by the Supervisory Board to ensure compliance, effectiveness, and alignment
    with our mission.

Nova Ukraine Chairman & CEO Statements on “Undesirable” Designation by the Russian Federation

WASHINGTON/PALO ALTO–In July, Russia declared the U.S.-based nonprofit Nova Ukraine an "undesirable” organization, effectively outlawing the organization's activities within Russia. The designation bans any cooperation or financial transactions with Nova Ukraine by Russian nationals or entities, and exposes affiliated individuals to severe criminal penalties and lengthy prison sentences. In response, Nova Ukraine Founder and Board Chairman Mikola (Nick) Bilogorskiy and CEO Ambassador Erin E. McKee issued the following statements: Bilogorskiy: “We see the “undesirable” designation as proof our work is effective.

‘Language and Thinking’ Program Prepares Young Ukrainians for Future Leadership

With Nova Ukraine’s support, Bard College leads writing- and discussion-filled workshops on the topic of justice Students from across Ukraine developed critical reading, writing, and civic leadership skills in a new program this summer supported by Nova Ukraine. The tuition-free, residential program, called Language and Thinking Kyiv, was based on Bard College’s Institute for Writing and Thinking approach to learning and was led by students and faculty members from the school. A total of 29 high school students completed the three-week program, which focused on the theme of “justice.” Students read and discussed texts written by Václav Havel, Lesia Ukrainka, Martin Luther King Jr., and others, and zeroed in on topics such as freedom, responsibility, and dignity. The students worked in small, immersive workshops and practiced a variety of writing formats, including free writing, loop writing, and process writing—all in English—and then shared and discussed their work with their classmates to examine and refine their own thought processes. One example of their assignments was the use of dialectical notebooks, in which students write down their thoughts about a text they had read together, then pass their notebook to another student to add their perspective.

Planning, Not Reacting: Ukraine’s Rescuers and Nova Ukraine Prepare for Winter Side by Side

On the tenth floor of an apartment building on Kyiv's left bank last January, Svitlana could not bathe her three-year-old daughter, Arina, or cook her a hot meal. After strikes on the energy system, they had gone more than three days without heat or electricity, in temperatures as low as -18°C. So she wrapped Arina in layer after layer and took her down ten floors of a dark stairwell to a heated tent that Ukraine's State Emergency Service had set up outside. There they could warm up, eat something hot, charge a phone and talk with a psychologist. Millions of Ukrainian families lived some version of that winter. When the power goes out, heat and water often go with it, elevators stop, and anyone who depends on electricity for medical treatment is suddenly at risk. UNICEF, which documented families like Svitlana's, observed that darkness and freezing temperatures intensify fear and stress for children. For the rescuers of the State Emergency Service, known in Ukraine as DSNS, a winter like that changes the job. They still fight fires and search damaged buildings after attacks. But when power, heat, and water fail, they also put up warming tents, install generators, and help residents get through the outages. Last winter left them, and everyone working alongside them, with a plain lesson: the time to prepare for an emergency is before it happens. Ukraine Is Preparing Earlier This Winter
