Other Ways to Give
Physical reconstruction is only half the battle. For Ukraine to truly recover, its people need the skills, mental resilience, and community support to lead the way.
When you donate to Shoulder to Shoulder, you aren't just funding a class—you are providing a safe harbor for an IDP mother to learn a new profession, a child to reclaim their education, and a community to heal from the invisible wounds of war.
Supporting Shoulder to Shoulder is an investment in people, families, and long-term community resilience. We focus on "social infrastructure"—rebuilding the human capital necessary for Ukraine's recovery.
We operate a diversified model including affordable fees, grants, major donor funding, and corporate partnerships.
We look for partners who believe in sustainable, long-term change. Whether through direct grants, employee matching, or in-kind professional services, your business can play a direct role in the reconstruction of Ukrainian society
Corporate Partnerships
Our unique model ensures that no one is turned away. Your donations specifically subsidize the "Fee Waivers" for families of fallen or active-duty soldiers and those in extreme financial hardship.
The "Ability-to-Pay" Fund
As an NGO led by a team of international experts—including actuaries, business coaches, and seasoned educators—we take stewardship seriously. Our diversified financial model is built for transparency and maximum impact on the ground in Poltava.
