The Foundation’s stated mission is “building peace and prosperity by supporting democracy, a free market and human rights for Ukraine.” Its website describes work in healthcare and humanitarian aid, economic development, leadership and education, advocacy, and cultural preservation.

In its 2024 filing, the Foundation described humanitarian and medical support, including aid for medical supplies and equipment, and an education program for Ukrainian medical, government, and NGO leaders.

Revival Foundation, which received a humanitarian grant, says its mission is to deliver effective and innovative solutions in critical times. BlueCheck Charitable Foundation, another humanitarian grant recipient, says it identifies, vets, and fast-tracks financial support to Ukrainian NGOs and aid initiatives.

The Foundation also established the Star of Ukraine Award, which recognizes individuals and organizations for contributions supporting Ukraine and its people. Its categories include business and technology, arts and entertainment, and patronage of Ukraine’s democracy, sports, and entertainment.
