Save Ukrainian Culture
Since February 24, 2022, more than 400 objects of material cultural heritage in Ukraine have been seriously damaged or destroyed by the troops of the Russian Federation. UNESCO World Heritage sites in Ukraine are under threat of destruction.
The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy of Ukraine created a special account to collect funds for the reconstruction of destroyed cultural objects.

Vibrant Ukrainian culture has not had its voice for at least the last 300 years. The imperialist policy of Russia destroyed our voice with repression and genocide, colonial narratives in many areas. But Ukraine has a voice. And we ask you to hear it, to preserve it, to help us make it visible and protected

Today everyone can help Ukrainian culture!
Caring patrons have the opportunity to become the main donor to any object, transferring the entire amount necessary for restoration and forever becoming an honored guest of the institution.
