U.S.-Ukraine Foundation … is a publicly supported 501(c)(3), not-for- profit non-governmental organization established in 1991 to support democracy, a free market, and human rights for Ukraine.

The Foundation, with offices in Washington and Kyiv, creates and sustains channels of communication between the United States and Ukraine, in order to build peace and prosperity through an exchange of information. The Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the mutual objectives of the U.S. and Ukraine, advancing Ukraine as a cornerstone of regional stability and as a full partner in the community of nations.

The work of the Foundation, over the course of 25 years, has been significant in the promotion of democratic and economic reforms in Ukraine. Since the beginning, when the Foundation was one of the first Western organizations to establish a physical presence in Kyiv through the founding of the Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy, it has continued to provide Ukrainians with the necessary information and technical assistance to transform their nation into a democratic, rule of law state.

September 16, 2015 - The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation hosted a round table discussion with Dr. Olena Prystayko, founder and director of the Ukrainian Think Tanks Liaison Office in Brussels, Belgium, which represents Ukrainian Think Tanks and creates a permanent platform for their activities in Brussels and in the member states of the EU.

The Foundation has earned a reputation in Ukraine and in the United States for its professionalism and credibility in fostering non-partisan discussion, providing accurate information and encouraging democratic reforms.

To support its mission in FY 2016, the Foundation raised $597,130 and had expenses of $596,675. Volunteers provided additional in-kind services amounting to $254,943 adding to the total impact of Foundation programs. Of all expenditures, program activities accounted for 78%, management and general operations for 21% and fundraising costs for 1%. The Foundation distributed $290,793 in grants and allocations, representing 49% of all expenditures and 62% of all program expenses. PROGRAMS

To: Nadia K. McConnell, President The Boards of Directors and Advisors, Donors and Friends From: John A. Kun, Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Date: June 30, 2017 Re: 2016 Annual Giving Campaign (September 1, 2015 – August 31, 2016)

It is my pleasure to report that during U.S.-Ukraine Foundation’s Silver Anniversary the 2016 Annual Giving Campaign received private cash and non-cash gifts totaling $452,915 from 461 donors.

Aiding our fundraising efforts this year were our two Ukraine in Washington conferences, the September 2015 Forum: Ukraine's Ongoing Battle for Freedom - The Risk of Western Failure in Political, Economic and Humanitarian Assistance and our March 2017 Forum: Ukraine's Battle for Freedom Continues, during which we were honored to host Ukraine’s President Petro Poroshenko. These events raised nearly $100,000 in program sponsorships.

Cash gifts totaled $304,415 and non-cash gifts totaled $148,500 during the year. This latter amount was realized through the Foundation's Humanitarian Program efforts during the year, with special thanks going to our many volunteers, especially Tetyana Neeley, and the Brother's Brother Foundation. The non-cash amount represents gifts of medical supplies and equipment that have been shipped to medical facilities in Kharkiv, Ukraine.

When considering the additional, volunteer gifts of in-kind services, which totaled $254,943 for the past year, the total amount of “contributions” in support of the Foundation equals $707,858. This amount is 83% of the Foundation's total revenue of $852,073 for the year. Other program-related revenue, including grant funds from the Open World Program of $91,301, constitutes the remaining income of $144,215 (of the $852,073 total).

The private gifts and many donated hours of service by volunteers illustrate the wide public support for the mission of the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation. Friends and donors make it possible for the Foundation to continue its much-needed work in support of the People of Ukraine. I thank all our donors and volunteers for their generosity of time and/or money.

This information is also being posted on our website and is reflected in our financial statements.

Your continued generosity is sought for our 2017 Annual Giving Campaign which is currently underway!
