About Nova Ukraine
Nova Ukraine’s grantmaking is anchored by repeated support for displaced families from Kherson: Nova Start in San Rafael received $790,000 in both 2023 and 2024 to provide temporary housing for families who escaped the Russian-occupied city. That pattern shows a funder that makes large, targeted awards for immediate humanitarian needs rather than broad, open-ended support. Across the recent grants, Nova Ukraine also backed shelter for evacuees from frontline communities in the Kharkiv region, medical and educational responses, and coordination work tied to Ukraine-focused convenings and information sharing. The foundation’s active programs point to a mix of humanitarian relief, refugee support in the United States, demining, medical aid delivery, renewable energy for damaged schools, and educational development for children and students in Ukraine. Its recent portfolio includes work with UNICEF in New York, Rememberus in Needham, and The Hack Foundation in West Hollywood, each tied to a specific relief, shelter, or information function. The result is a grantmaker with a strong emergency-response orientation and a clear focus on communities affected by the war in Ukraine.
What Nova Ukraine Funds
In housing and displacement response, Nova Ukraine gave $790,000 to Nova Start in 2024 for temporary housing for families who escaped Kherson, and it also gave $100,000 to Rememberus in 2024 to build and support a shelter for people evacuated from small towns in the Kharkiv region. In child-focused relief, UNICEF received $107,034 in 2024 to reallocate, accommodate, and support children from war-torn regions of Ukraine. The foundation also supports education and youth programming: it gave $60,000 to I Am U Are World Inc in 2025 for educational work and $48,500 to Ukraine Global Scholars Foundation in 2024 for educational support. For information and advocacy work, Nova Ukraine awarded $20,000 to The Hack Foundation in 2024 to translate verified local war reporting and provide real-time updates to the international press.
How Nova Ukraine Gives
Nova Ukraine’s recent grants cluster around a typical middle range of $20,000 at the 25th percentile, a median of $38,000, and a 75th percentile of $105,276. The distribution is shaped by a few very large awards and many smaller program grants. Several recipients appear across multiple years, including Nova Start, UNICEF, Rememberus, I Am U Are World Inc, Engin Inc, Orange Coast Unitarian Universalist Church, and Razom Inc, which points to recurring relationships rather than one-off grants only. It is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Unsolicited applications are not part of the listed active programs.
