Our fundraising principles

At Greenpeace Ukraine, we are honoured that the work of our organization network is funded almost entirely by donations given to us by passionate individuals from all over the world who care about the planet and want to help us create change, as well as by grants from private foundations that share our values.

Our independence is vital for us to be effective in our campaigning work, which is why we have it as a core principle that guides all our fundraising efforts. We do not accept funding from governments, corporations, political parties, or intergovernmental organisations.

We also screen all large private donations to identify any potential issues that could compromise our independence, integrity, or divert from our campaign priorities. If we find something, then we will refuse or return the donation.

Donations enable people to stand together with our campaigners and activists, helping to bring about the much-needed change. Because of this, it is crucial that we treat supporters’ gifts to the Greenpeace network organizations with respect and responsibility, using them to create the greatest impact possible both in our campaigns and when we invest in further fundraising.
