Conducting of the festival in Kyiv and in the other cities of Ukraine – is a sound argument of approval of universal human values in Ukraine, of our aspiration to become the part of the European community.

We never take any payment for the assistance we provide. On the one hand, the vast majority of victims of human rights violations, whom we help, have no opportunity to pay anything for such services. On the other hand, this is effectively prohibited by current legislation.

This unfortunately entails considerable expenditure with all the costs linked with running an organization and paying staff.

If you share our values and would like to support our work you can make this by means of your donations.

All such donations will go towards helping those victims of human rights abuses who are not able to help themselves. The application of funds is always checked by the Revision Commission and independent auditors.

We are grateful for any support, and all those who contribute to our work will receive our annual report, financial report, as well as information about how the donations were spent. 

We would be grateful if you could inform us, in whatever way is convenient (by telephone, post, etc) of when you made the payment and how much it was for. Please also tell us if you would like to receive our reports, and whether you agree we make public the information about your donations. .

If needed, we can provide any documentation required to confirm a charitable donation against tax: for legal entities, assistance to non-profit making organizations of more than two percent, but not exceeding five percent of the taxable profit from the previous tax year is included in the gross expenditure amount (Article 5.2.2 of the Law of Ukraine “On taxing businesses’ profits”).
