Hope For Ukraine – rated 100% by Charity Navigator 4 Stars 

​Area of Focus: Ukraine

​

Bringing hope to Ukraine since 2016. Providing food, medical attention, shelter and education for Ukrainians whose lives have been devastated because of war. Our purpose is to serve individuals and families of the poorest communities in Ukraine. We are dedicated to improving the quality of life of poor children and youth by providing basic necessities, critical benefits and services, programs that support long-term development, and opportunities that prepare them for success. We were founded out of a need to raise awareness for voices not heard. We have continued to make a difference with the help of our donors and volunteers that make our mission possible. Through all these years our purpose remains the same: advocate change through action.

Center for Reproductive Rights – rated 98% by Charity Navigator 4 Stars

​Area of Focus: Women's Access to Reproductive Rights & Healthcare

​

The Center for Reproductive Rights uses the law to advance reproductive freedom as a fundamental human right that all governments are legally obligated to protect, respect, and fulfill. Since 1992, our attorneys have boldly used legal and human rights tools to create a world where every woman participates with full dignity as an equal member of society. We are the only global legal advocacy organization dedicated to reproductive rights, with expertise in both U.S. constitutional and international human rights law. Our groundbreaking cases before national courts, United Nations committees, and regional human rights bodies have expanded access to reproductive healthcare, including birth control, safe abortion, prenatal and obstetric care, and unbiased information.
