Urgent Appeal
Ukraine NGO Coordination Network
The war in Ukraine has created one of the most urgent humanitarian crises in Europe since the end of World War II. The Ukraine NGO Coordination Network (UNCN), a network of U.S.-based 501c3 organizations and non-profit humanitarian organizations, is currently working around the clock to evacuate people in need including women and children to safety and provide food, water, medicine, and other life-saving humanitarian aid to those in need.
ABOUT US
"A Team of Teams"
UNCN is a network of 20+ NGOs (501c3’s) based on the “team of teams” concept. These NGOs have learned from prior crises, including the evacuation of Afghanistan, that a collaborative effort can achieve results greater than the sum of its parts. UNCN was formed to provide an outward-facing single point of contact for those wishing to assist the NGOs doing the meaningful work on the ground and to centralize resource intake (both financial and non-financial) and deconflict and collaborate operations amongst NGOs.
The constituent groups of UNCN were among the first non-profit organizations running operations in Ukraine. Members of UNCN organizations were tracking the deteriorating security situation in Ukraine even before the Russian invasion, and within 24 hours, were actively working to assist those in-country.
