Why You Can Trust Us

People trust the Fund "Ridni" because we have demonstrated consistency, transparency, and professionalism in our work since 2012.

The Fund provides tangible support to children and families across Ukraine, including during crisis periods, such as the full-scale russian invasion.  

“Ridni” reports on every project, openly publishes financial reports and results of work, which builds trust among donors, partners, and the public. 

Trust is also built on feedback from beneficiaries, long-term partnerships with international organizations (such as UNICEF, GlobalGiving, etc.), and the deep humanity and empathy that permeate every project of the Fund.

Why Transparency Matters to Us

"Reporting is the language of honesty: it allows everyone to see that their contribution truly makes a difference in the lives of children and families."

“At the “Ridni” Foundation, transparency is not just a principle—it is the foundation of the trust we build every day with donors, partners, and society.  

That is why we have had our financial statements audited following international standards – IFRS, recognized worldwide. This is not only a confirmation of our accountability, but also an important step in professionalizing Ukraine’s charity sector.   

We believe that trust can be born only with consistency, openness, and tangible results.”  

— Mariana Romaniak, Director of the Fund “Ridni” 

The Director of the Fund “Ridni”, Mariana Romaniak, was awarded 1st place in the “Charity Manager of the Year” category (National Competition “Charity Ukraine – 2024: Charity in Defense of Ukraine”).

GlobalGiving
GlobalGiving Team
Over the past year, the Charity Fund "Ridni" has raised nearly $250,000 through the GlobalGiving platform, thanks to projects on its GlobalGiving page and a grant from our Ukraine Crisis Relief Fund. This has enabled "Ridni" to provide comprehensive assistance to children, including orphans, across war-torn Ukraine. We continue to be inspired by the work of our partners and are confident that they will continue to make a positive impact on the lives of their communities in the future.
