Connecting those in need with those who want to help.

Sunflower Network is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit organization focused on providing direct and essential aid to Ukrainians in need. By connecting our global partners with our trusted local relationships we are able to ensure that the needed and correct supplies are finding their way into trusted hands within the country. To date Sunflower Network has delivered over $1,500,000 in critical relief from 4x4 vehicles and ambulances to field medical supplies and hygiene products.

The ethos of Sunflower Network is simple: create an organization that empowers individuals to get involved in volunteering through unique and personal channels. From partnering with retail giants to facilitate the donation of 100,000 units of much-needed hygiene supplies to recently liberated territories to creating a fundraising space focused on promoting Ukrainian arts and culture, and the wars impact on art; Sunflower Network is a multi-hyphenate organization providing aid and assistance across the spectrum of need.

Our Story

I spent the conflict’s opening month trying to figure out how to help Ukraine. Doing so was astonishingly difficult: every organization with which I spoke wanted money or nothing at all. Finally, fed up, I departed for Eastern Europe to see for myself. 

I gleaned three key insights during my first few weeks in Romania, Poland, and Ukraine:

  • More Ukrainian women and children are returning home than leaving

  • Ukraine desperately needs supplies that are readily available abroad

  • Local networks have emerged to distribute goods throughout Ukraine

Ukraine’s greatest humanitarian need is support for the 40+ million people throughout the country struggling to cope in the wake of a destroyed supply chain. Our greatest opportunity is to construct an emergency supply chain of food, hygiene, medical, and other products into Ukraine.

Local Ukrainian networks do the hard work — delivering supplies throughout the country’s dangerous war zones. Sunflower Network’s mission is to provide people who want to help the opportunity to directly activate and empower Ukraine’s emergency supply chain.
