The Chopivsky Family Foundation concentrates its giving on Ukraine-related causes, combining large, unrestricted gifts for humanitarian relief with support for Ukrainian diaspora cultural institutions and U.S.-Ukraine policy work. Grants are sizable and few, aimed at trusted organizations that operate both on-the-ground relief and in Washington policy circles. The foundation appears motivated by urgent relief needs and by strengthening Ukrainian identity and advocacy in the U.S.
Concentrated giving: a small number of large, mostly unrestricted grants; repeat support to select organizations (Atlantic Council); emphasis on immediate impact and strategic policy influence rather than many small grants.
Chopivsky Family Foundation’s largest recent grant went to a Ukrainian American relief organization: $280,000 to United Ukranian American Relief Committee Inc for unrestricted support. That one award signals the foundation’s pattern of backing Ukrainian causes through flexible grants rather than tightly earmarked projects. Across the recent grants list, the foundation also supported the Atlantic Council twice, including $100,000 and $50,000 for unrestricted support of its organization, showing that it funds both humanitarian response and Washington-based policy work. The foundation’s giving also extends to Ukrainian cultural and community institutions in the United States. Recent awards supported the Ukrainian Institute of America, St Andrews Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Razom Inc, Help US Help, and Us-ukraine Foundation, alongside schools and cultural groups connected to Ukrainian identity and education. Grants are generally focused on organizational sustainability and core operations, with several awards described as unrestricted support. The overall picture is a donor that concentrates on a small set of Ukraine-related nonprofits and institutions, using flexible grants to strengthen their capacity and continuity.
Humanitarian relief is the foundation’s clearest funding area. It gave $280,000 to United Ukranian American Relief Committee Inc for unrestricted support, and also awarded $10,000 to Razom Inc and $5,000 to Nova Ukraine, both as unrestricted support or donation. Its support for Ukrainian diaspora cultural life shows up in grants to the Ukrainian Institute of America, including $25,900 for unrestricted support and another $25,000 restricted to activities with Ukrainian center partners. The foundation also gave $10,250 and $7,500 to St Andrews Ukrainian Orthodox Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, plus $5,000 to the Taras Shevchenko School of Ukrainian Studies of Greater Wash. In policy and foreign-affairs work, it backed the Atlantic Council with $100,000 and $50,000 for unrestricted support of its organization, and gave $5,000 to the National Endowment for Democracy and $5,000 to The Jamestown Foundation.
Typical grants cluster at the low-to-mid five-figure level, with p25 at $1,087, median at $5,000, and p75 at $10,125. The distribution is shaped by a few large awards alongside many smaller ones. The recent list also shows repeat support: the Atlantic Council, Ukrainian Institute of America, St Andrews Ukrainian Orthodox Church, St Albans School, The Orchestra of the Americas Group, Us-ukraine Foundation, Beauvoir School, and The Jamestown Foundation each appear more than once across 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a private family foundation, and the grant descriptions frequently use unrestricted or general support language.
