We are musicians from Ukraine, raising money at our concerts to support our country, our city, and our people.

KMLX began as the Philanthropic Arm of the musical group [Kommuna Lux](https://kommunalux.com/).  When war came to their country in 2022, these musicians soon realized they could do more good with their instruments than with guns.  They began raising funds at their concerts in Europe, for charitable projects back home.  [This video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOIU5HF19XA) shows some of the ways they spent their donations that year.

They decided to tour the United States in 2023, and were so successful that they founded this 501-c3 nonprofit for their future tours.  We all welcome you to come to a concert--[check our website](https://kommunalux.com/events/) to see if we'll be in your town!

With two US tours planned in 2024, the band felt like they could strive for something greater than the small, local projects they had always supported in the past.  They soon found a willing partner in the [Rotary E-Club of Ukraine](https://rotaryeclubukraine.org.ua/), who had numerous projects in need of funds.  The musicians decided to help supply a new type of hospital bed for victims of severe burns, to hospitals serving the front lines.  That project was funded and completed in 2025!

Now the band has chosen to support two Rotary projects dedicated to children:  [the construction of a new playground in their beloved Odesa](https://rotaryd2232ukraine.org/rcprojects/christmas24/project?prid=133), and a larger project titled "Ukrainian Children Don't Have a Stop Button: Early Intervention Services in Conflict Zones."  For every dollar donated at a Kommuna Lux concert, 30% will go directly to these Rotary projects. 

The other 70% of your donation will continue to support our regular grassroots causes, such as food, water, and medicine to besieged cities, bomb shelters and other safety projects in our hometown of Odesa, and our direct support of the heroes at the front with gear, tools, and vehicles.

**2025 Update**:  Our success has taken a new turn!  Several other bands from Ukraine are also raising funds through KMLX!

- [Yagody](https://yagody.org/en/#intro) from Lviv had their first American tour this spring, raising over $4000 for their chosen charity in Ukraine.
[Vopli Vidopliassova (VV)](https://www.krainamriy.com/en/gurt-vv)--Ukraine’s legendary pioneers of punk, rock, and folk —  return to North America with a powerful 40th Anniversary Tour, using their voice not only to celebrate Ukrainian resilience, but to mobilize global solidarity. All charity efforts from the tour support[ Misto Dobra](https://misto-dobra.com.ua/en/home/) (The City of Goodness), a Ukrainian shelter offering emergency care, housing, and rehabilitation for women and children affected by war. Donations are directed through the [Kraina Mriy Foundation, ](https://www.olegskrypka.com/)founded by VV’s frontman Oleg Skrypka, one of Ukraine’s most trusted cultural and humanitarian platforms.

 Look for additional bands to join in the future!
