When in 2014 Russian aggression first openly crossed the Ukrainian borders, the country experienced a state of shock, as the state turned out to be unprepared for war — unlike the people, who, despite everything, were ready to act. It was at that moment that People’s Project appeared — one of the most powerful and at the same time most transparent volunteer initiatives of modern Ukraine.
This fund did not emerge as a result of a government program or international grant funding, but was created by ordinary entrepreneurs from Mykolaiv, who, after a trip to Chonhar, saw with their own eyes what the real situation at the front was. They quickly realized that the state physically could not cover all needs, but anyone willing could join in and truly help. This was the beginning of the story of a people’s project that later changed the rules of the game in the field of army support.
From 2014 to 2022, People’s Project implemented hundreds of projects. Purchasing ammunition, body armor, thermal imagers, vehicles, medical equipment, tools for fighters — all of this became the fund’s daily routine. They were the first to systematically implement the principle of full accountability: on their platform, every hryvnia had its path, every donation — its story.
The fund also joined important humanitarian and medical initiatives, such as prosthetics restoration, psychological rehabilitation of fighters, and support programs for the wounded. Many projects became pilot ones and were later adopted by other funds and even state structures.
Ordinary people saw where their money was going. This created a new level of trust. People no longer just donated — they became part of a great cause.
The fund’s platform is one of the first digital systems for army aid collection in Ukraine. It’s not just a website, it’s a system that allows volunteers, donors, and the military to interact effectively. Reports, updates, photos, and videos from the front line — all of it is available to everyone.
The full-scale invasion changed everything, but for People’s Project it was not a shock — for them, it was a clear call to action to which the team responded immediately. From the very first hours of February 24, 2022, the fund began operating in emergency mode, without delays or pauses.
Volunteers quickly assembled a team, set up logistics, and launched the daily fight to successfully implement every project. Since then, the main priority has been exclusively military collections, and all the fund’s efforts were directed to supporting the front. During the hottest months of the war, the fund ran dozens of collections simultaneously, coordinating everything: from negotiations with suppliers to delivering goods directly to the zero lines.
The fund does not work abstractly. Its team has a clear understanding of who needs what. The priority is brigades at the front line:
This list is constantly updated and expanded, but the most important thing remains systemic: the fund clearly knows the needs of its units and targets them precisely. They don’t just send something useful — they act as an exact logistics system: what is needed, where exactly, when and in what quantity.
Over the past two years, People’s Project has launched dozens of collections for high-tech equipment:
In addition, a large amount of personal gear was purchased for the military, such as first aid kits, tourniquets, and tactical equipment — all strictly upon requests from the front. Each collection is a response to a real request, where people donate and, just a few days later, receive a report directly from the front line.
Although the fund focuses on military projects, there are cases when a humanitarian catastrophe forces a deviation from the course. This happened after the explosion at the Kakhovka HPP.
People’s Project launched a separate project to help the affected. Evacuation, food, water, medicine, boats — all of this became a temporary but important front for the volunteers. In a short time, the team organized aid for thousands of residents left without shelter and basic resources.
This once again proved: the fund’s team is ready to respond to any challenges, even if they go beyond military support.
The main value of People’s Project is honesty. All reports are publicly available. The platform updates data in real time. Every penny has its trace.
The fund’s social networks are not just a means of informing, but a real living diary of the war, a diary of aid and hope. People see not just words but the results of their support, and it is thanks to this transparency that the fund maintains the trust of tens of thousands of donors worldwide.
The fund is not alone. It is supported by:
This is not just support — this is partnership, this is a shared struggle. This team has a big community, big trust, and a big future.
People who do not give up
The People’s Project team is more than just volunteers. It is a united community of professionals who work every day without weekends and without stopping, understanding that their actions are not just logistics or report writing. Their work is real support at the front, it is lives saved, it is an unbreakable rear that holds the line together with the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
The fund employs specialists from various fields: information technology, logistics, procurement, communications, finance — they all know their work perfectly and deeply believe in victory. These are not random enthusiasts — they are representatives of a new generation of Ukrainian volunteers who are building a system that withstands the toughest trials.
Everyone who joins the aid makes a conscious choice — a choice for life, for freedom, for victory. And People’s Project proves every day that even the smallest contribution can turn into a big result. Their projects are not only success stories on paper. These are real changes, real lives saved, real fighters who returned home thanks to reliable support.
The fund doesn’t create loud slogans — it acts. Every donation is a concrete contribution to victory. Every implemented project is another blow to the enemy, another step toward peace.
In modern conditions, where response speed and execution accuracy become decisive success factors, People’s Project demonstrates one of the highest levels of digitalization among Ukrainian volunteer organizations. Their IT platform not only allows quick receipt of requests and real-time responses, but also ensures full transparency of financial operations, which is especially important during wartime.
Thanks to a systematic approach to automating internal processes, the fund records every transaction, provides prompt reports to donors, and guarantees that not a single penny disappears without a trace. This level of accountability creates trust and sets new standards for the entire volunteer sector in Ukraine.
Additionally, the team actively uses analytical tools to optimize its work. They calculate the average delivery time of aid, analyze the effectiveness of various donation channels. This is no longer just classic volunteer work — it is high-tech resource management operating with the precision and reliability of commercial corporations.
The fund has 11 years of experience. That’s more than most other well-known organizations. It’s older even than the legendary “Come Back Alive.” And this experience is gold. It allows avoiding mistakes, not losing pace, acting precisely.
While others were still building processes — People’s Project was already working. And continues to work — effectively, transparently, confidently.
