The Nonprofit Podcast The Nonprofit Podcast - Ep 10 Nova Ukraine - People, Partnerships and Passion
Nova Ukraine is dedicated to providing humanitarian aid and raising awareness about Ukraine in the United States as well as in the rest of the world. They established solid relationships and worked hard to grow partnerships over the past several years. Because of this, Nova Ukraine was able to get right to work as tension built at the Ukrainian borders and formed part of the first response as the missile attacks started at the end of February.
In the States, they’ve worked with individuals and partnerships to raise money and deliver tons of medical supplies and generators, load cargo planes, and provide accommodations to hungry and tired people and animals in and outside Ukraine. Yulia Zimmermann may be listed as the Marketing Lead for the organization, but after 30 minutes with her, you will know that for Yulia and Nova Ukraine, this is just the start. Their passion and commitment to supporting a free and independent country will continue until peace is restored. Yulia still has family struggling to leave, but her compassion and commitment to working for all affected Ukrainians is both compelling and inspiring. Links to the music, book, and performance Yulia recommends are listed below.
