Ukrainian people are among the many contributing authors, volunteers, and members of our team that have enabled UX Magazine to serve the community for 17 years.

We stand with our team members from Ukraine, and the people of Ukraine. If you want to help, here is a (growing) list of ways that you can help Ukrainian people through donations and/ or actions:

  • Calling all Designers! Designers United For Ukraine is collecting names of designers and businesses interested in helping and/or hiring displaced Ukrainian designers to reach safety and continue to work...

  • A special fundraising account was created by the National Bank of Ukraine specifically to support Ukraine’s Armed Forces – https://bit.ly/3BSQoyv

  • The International Rescue Comittee (founded by Albert Einstein) is rushing critical aid to displaced families as Russia invades Ukraine and civilians seek safety. Help them support families affected by the Ukraine crisis.

  • Therapysts for Ukraine – Ukrainians get four therapy sessions (usually 45-50 minutes) free of charge. Please note that most of them speak English, and not Ukrainian!

  • The Kyiv Independent is covering the conflict from within the conflict zone and is fundraising to continue coverage.

  • Voices of Children provides emergency psychological assistance to Ukrainian children impacted by the war.

  • Sunflower of Peace prepares first aid tactical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the ground.
