Nova Ukraine

Nova Ukraine is a U.S.-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in March 2014 that delivers humanitarian aid, medical supplies, and services to communities in Ukraine. Its name translates as "New Ukraine". The organization was established by a coalition of Ukrainian-American volunteers in response to the annexation of Crimea and the broader instability following the Euromaidan protests in Ukraine and the Revolution of Dignity.

Nova Ukraine coordinates grassroots relief efforts, operates humanitarian initiatives, supports education, culture and civil society, and carries out advocacy campaigns supporting Ukraine and its diaspora. Commentators have described Nova Ukraine as part of a younger and more professionalized generation of Ukrainian-American civic organizations. The organization operates across multiple program areas. Its medical aid division, known as the Heal initiative, has supported more than 600 medical institutions and delivered surgical instruments, diagnostic equipment, and rehabilitation technologies to hospitals in Ukraine since 2022. Through its people support programs, Nova Ukraine has assisted refugees, internally displaced persons, coordinated evacuations and established educational initiatives in collaboration with international partners including the Howard G. Buffett Foundation. The organization's public infrastructure efforts have delivered generators, emergency equipment, and solar panels to critical facilities across Ukraine. Focus reported that the organization sent more than US$130 million in aid to Ukraine through May 2025.

Nova Ukraine is headquartered in Palo Alto, California, and since 2022 has established volunteer chapters across eight U.S. states and the District of Columbia, along with operational offices in Ukraine. The organization's board is chaired by Nick Bilogorskiy, one of its co-founders alongside Ostap Korkuna. In August 2025, Erin McKee was appointed chief executive officer of Nova Ukraine. The organization is a founding member of the American Coalition for Ukraine.

Two co-founders were each awarded the Order of Merit (Ukraine) 3rd class in 2022 and 2023 by President Volodymyr Zelensky in recognition of their leadership in humanitarian relief efforts. Nick Bilogorskiy was included in Ukrainska Pravda's annual ranking “UP 100: Power of Influence” as #2 in the Society category. The organization has received recognition from major charity evaluation platforms, including a four-star rating from Charity Navigator in 2024 and a Platinum Transparency Seal from GuideStar in 2025. In 2025, Focus magazine ranked Nova Ukraine among Ukraine's 'most impactful Ukrainians' as the #5 charity organization.
