Sunflower Seeds Ukraine

The mission of Sunflower Seeds Ukraine is to save the lives and strengthen the resolve of Ukrainian Defenders by providing medical aid, protective equipment, and field gear to small groups of Defenders, and humanitarian assistance to affected civilians.

We are a 100% volunteer-driven 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Boulder, Colorado and Rivne, Ukraine. Founded in 2022, we operate as a multinational grassroots network with direct contacts on the front lines of the war in Ukraine. By managing our own supply chain, we ensure vital aid reaches the front lines quickly and directly, getting life-saving supplies to those who need them most.

Our Core Initiatives:

Medical Aid: We supply advanced individual first aid kits, which include tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, and chest seals. We also supply lifesaving equipment for field medics and hospitals.

Protective Equipment: We provide electronic earmuffs to save hearing, drone detectors, and other protective items to small groups of defenders.

Defender Support: We provide high-quality field gear such as backpacks, sleeping mats, camelbacks, sourced from the USA and delivered to Ukraine through our logistics network.

Humanitarian Assistance: We provide summer camp tuition for children who have been displaced by war, lost a parent, or have a parent currently defending Ukraine. For these kids, camp can be a life-changing experience. We have also supported a village school by repairing the heating system, upgraded their underground shelter, and installing an air alert system - making in-person learning possible for 500 students.

Impact Highlights:

Since the beginning of the invasion in 2022, we have provided more than 12,000 Defenders with over 50,000 items of aid. The generosity of more than 2,000 donors, combined with 1,000s of volunteer hours, makes incredible things possible. Over the past year, Sunflower Seeds Ukraine has delivered more than $600,000 worth of critical aid to the front lines. These supplies have sustained Ukraine’s Defenders and supported the civilians they protect.
