Rapid Reaction Support Fund for Media and Civil Society in Ukraine

For decades, IREX has worked to positively impact the lives of Ukrainians through programs that empower youth, cultivate leaders, strengthen institutions, and extend access to quality education and information.

We now redouble our commitment to these efforts as Ukrainians fight for freedom, democracy, and ultimately peace by establishing a Rapid Response Support Fund.

The Fund will provide support to established civil society organizations that are meeting humanitarian needs on the ground and protecting vulnerable populations such as the families of veterans, internally displaced persons, and women in need of psycho-social support. It will work to counter Kremlin-sponsored disinformation and provide cyber and information security resources to civilians. It will provide support to help keep journalists safe with live-saving equipment and keep independent media outlets operating.
