Your generosity fuels our mission, and we want to ensure your experience is as seamless and rewarding as the support you provide to those in need. Find out exactly how your donations are put to work.

Time Donors are people who share their knowledge, expertise, or life stories by meeting with others. You give your time and experience. Supporters are people who contribute financially to support humanitarian aid for Ukraine and, in return, get the opportunity to meet with a Time Donor for mentorship, advice, or conversation. A Supporter makes a financial contribution and, in return, is connected with a Time Donor — someone willing to share their time, experiences, and insights—so they can meet at an agreed time and place for a meaningful conversation, with every dollar going directly to humanitarian aid for Ukraine.

Because even one conversation can make a difference. As a Time Donor, you can inspire, guide, and support others while helping Ukrainians in need. As a Supporter, you gain meaningful connections while contributing to a vital cause.
