Cover Page Note: Bells as a Symbol of Freedom - Sponsored and donated by the Ivano-Frankivsk Oblast Association of Blacksmiths
“Owing to your idea, those who receive them will hear about Ukraine! Bells can ring for joy, but also signal alarm. Unfortunately, these
are alarming times now in Ukraine. We are extremely grateful to all who support us and have been doing so throughout this time. This
support is very important!”
- Viktor Vintonyak: Ivano-Frankivsk, Sister City of Arlington, VA
THE MISSION
U.S.-Ukraine Foundation … is a publicly supported 501(c)(3), not-forprofit non-governmental organization established in 1991 to support democracy, a free market, and
human rights for Ukraine.
The Foundation, headquartered in Washington, creates and sustains channels of communication
between the United States and Ukraine, in order to build peace and prosperity through an exchange of
information. The Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the mutual objectives of the U.S. and
Ukraine, advancing Ukraine as a cornerstone of regional stability and as a full partner in the community
of nations.
The work of the Foundation, over the course of 23 years, has been significant in the promotion of
democratic and economic reforms in Ukraine. Since the beginning, when the Foundation was one of the
first Western organizations to establish a physical presence in Kyiv through the founding of the Pylyp
Orlyk Institute for Democracy, it has continued to provide Ukrainians with the necessary information
and technical assistance to transform their nation into a democratic, rule of law state.
Kyiv, October 15, 2013 - Vice President/Ukraine Director Markian Bilynskyj and Program Director Yuliya Solovey
attend the International Conference on Anti-Semitism on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the infamous
"blood libel" trial of Menahem Mendel Beilis, organized by the Ukrainian Jewish Committee with the support
of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) . On left is Lesley Weiss, Director of
Community Services and Cultural Affairs for NCSJ.
Today, the Foundation, which has representative branch status in Ukraine, operates through its main
office in Kyiv.
The Foundation has earned a reputation in Ukraine and in the United States for its professionalism and
credibility in fostering non-partisan discussion, providing accurate information and encouraging
democratic reforms.
To support its mission in FY 2014, the Foundation raised $641,752 and had expenses of $658,862.
Volunteers provided additional in-kind services amounting to $202,756, adding to the total impact of
Foundation programs. Of all expenditures, program activities accounted for 63%, management and
general operations for 22% and fundraising costs for 15%. The Foundation distributed $209,448 in grants
and allocations, representing 32% of all expenditures and slightly over 50% of all program expenses.
PROGRAMS
Education
This program educates the public regarding Ukraine and the U.S. and provides assistance to institutions and
individuals in expanding educational opportunities relating to public policy, economic development, health
care, leadership and democratic values.
Open World Project
Funded by the independent Open World Leadership Center at the Library of Congress, Open World is designed
to enhance understanding and capabilities for cooperation between the U.S. and the countries of Eastern
Europe, Eurasia and the Baltic States by developing a network of leaders in the region who have gained
significant, firsthand exposure to America’s democratic, accountable government and free-market system.
Through the Foundation’s Open World Project, “emerging” Ukrainian leaders attended 9-day training
programs organized and hosted by the Foundation’s partners in the cities of Arlington, VA, Birmingham, AL,

opportunity to delve into U.S.-Ukrainian relations, to explore career choices, and to learn the political
process. Students are challenged while they serve at USUF and assist in various communications, research
and program activities. Our interns represent future leaders in U.S.-Ukraine relations!

Public Policy
Ukraine 2020
An initiative, announced by the Foundation in September 2010, designed to support Ukraine's European
integration which President Yanukovych declared a priority goal for Ukraine. The initiative has three
important components – Policy Dialogue, Advancing Ukraine’s Image and Competitiveness, and People-toPeople Exchanges.
Ukraine 2020: Policy Dialogue is a collaborative and integrated action plan that brings together
government officials, public policy experts, business groups, non-profit organizations and individuals
interested in Ukraine’s European future. The Foundation received grant funds totaling $150,000 from the
U.S. State Department in September 2011 to implement a program supporting Ukraine’s aspirations for
European integration. Policymakers from both Ukraine and the United States met in several meetings during
the course of the program.
Ukraine 2020: Advancing Ukraine’s Image and Competitiveness is a strategic effort to improve Ukraine’s
economic development and image world-wide. The Foundation has been an active proponent of Ukraine’s
economic development and image through many programs over the past two decades, including its
Community Partnerships Project and more recently, its Discover Ukraine initiative.
Ukraine 2020: People-to-People Exchanges. For the people of Ukraine to maximize their role in their
country’s development and European integration, the Foundation proposes an expansion of focused
exchanges centering on youth leadership and professional technical assistance in private and public sectors.
The Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy
The Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy in Kyiv receives support from
the Foundation to provide Ukrainian policymakers with information on
public policy issues, such as democracy, democratic institutions, the
development of civil society and free-market economics, to help educate and impact decision-makers in
Ukraine.
Economic Development
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation promotes business and economic development between Ukraine and the West
through an open exchange of information from corporate, government, educational and non-profit entities.
This is accomplished through:
- Market of Ukraine, a business development section of the Foundation's website, and
- http://www.traveltoukraine.org, a website that promotes Ukraine’s travel and tourism industry
- inclusion of business articles features in the Foundation’s e-newsletter, Update
- the posting of travel sector informational items through the Travel to Ukraine Facebook page
- periodic meetings and other events, including business conferences, organized by the Foundation.
Zapvtiv Community Development Fund
This fund supports Zapytiv, a community near Lviv, and established by the Boyko Family -- Mychailo and his
daughters Olena and Lieda.

The William Petrach Charitable Trust, which had previously awarded the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation with funds
in 1999 to construct a community center and a church rectory in Old Dobrotvir (Lviv oblast, Kamyanka-Buzkyj
rayon), petitioned the Circuit Court of Arlington in March 2003 to terminate the trust and distribute the
remaining assets to the Foundation. The court approved the petition and awarded the Foundation with funds
to establish an endowment that supports the year-to-year needs of four community institutions - the
community center, elementary school, library, and rectory of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.
Health Care & Humanitarian Aid
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation provides health care and humanitarian assistance to
Ukraine through this program.
The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation partners with the Centre for Corporate Social
Responsibility Development, Ukraine to promote Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) both in Ukraine as well as in the United States.

medical care for the many injured form Ukraine's conflict in the eastern regions.
Over $60,000 was directed in grants for this purpose.
Informational Services
The Foundation informs its supporters and the general public about its activities in the U.S. and Ukraine,
the mutual objectives of both nations, and areas of mutual interest.
