Alex Iskold has raised US$12-million for 11.000 Ukrainian families in need
Like a lot of people with deep roots in Ukraine, Alex Iskold felt helpless when Russia launched its invasion a year ago.
Mr. Iskold had already been involved with charitable work throughout the COVID-19 pandemic but he quickly expanded his efforts to help people in Ukraine. With the help of 50 friends and colleagues, he launched the $1k Project for Ukraine. He added that recipients are carefully screened to make sure that donations are directed to the most vulnerable. “We built a very strong system that allows us to deliver relief at scale,” he said adding that the screening process involves computer checks and volunteers who review each application.
So far, the non-profit project has raised nearly US$12-million and supported around 11,000 Ukrainians.
