The most effective way to assist relief efforts for Ukrainians is by making cash contributions to humanitarian organizations that are conducting relief operations. Why is cash best?

Enables aid professionals to quickly purchase the exact items needed.

Is flexible and efficient. Cash can be used to provide lifesaving healthcare, shelter, and other vital services.

Reduces the burden on scarce resources (such as transportation routes, staff time, and warehouse space).

Supports the local economy of the disaster-stricken region.

Ensures culturally, dietarily, and environmentally appropriate assistance.
