The U.S-Ukraine Foundation and World Unite for Ukraine™, a global grassroots movement uniting millions of people around the world in support of the people of Ukraine, will present a virtual 90+ minute fundraising concert on July 14, 2022. 

The event will include performances by Pink Floyd, Al Di Meola, the Pat McGee Band, Eurovision 2004 winner Ruslana, and other international groups (a complete list of performers can be found here). The event will also showcase powerful stories from Ukraine that highlight the country's history and culture, as well as the devastating impact the war has had on Ukraine and its people. 

With a $10 million goal, all proceeds will be deployed to vetted humanitarian initiatives through the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation. These funds will go toward:

  • Equipping and building shelters in Irpin and Cherkasy for internally displaced persons (IDPs)
  • Rebuilding destroyed houses in Horynka and Makarov, Kyiv oblast
  • Installing water purification systems for apartment buildings in Mykolaiv
  • Purchasing mobile water purification systems for the State Emergency Service of Ukraine
  • Medical supplies and equipment
  • Mental health and emotional support
  • Grants to humanitarian organizations providing assistance on the ground
  • Support to artists, museums, cultural projects and groups through the Ukrainian Cultural Fund
  • Animal shelters and protection gear for K9 dogs

The event will be live streamed to over 25 countries via Mandolin beginning at 8pm EDT/2am CET. On demand replay will also be available for 7 days after. Viewers can secure a ticket by selecting from several donation tiers on the Mandolin event page or receive an access code by giving to the active GoFundMe campaign.

Merchandise, including t-shirts and event posters designed by Ukrainian and Moldovan artists, will also be available for purchase on Mandolin's concert page, as well as directly through the World Unite for Ukraine online store.

We hope that you can join us for this special event!
