Come Back Alive Foundation provides military aid to the Ukrainian Defense Forces, including procurement of weapons and equipment, training, and strategic partnerships.

Target Customer

Donors and Ukrainian defense-related entities (military training centers, military academies, government partners such as the National Guard and ministries) seeking support for defense capabilities and veteran rehabilitation.

Key Differentiator

100% of donations go directly to the Ukrainian Army; long-standing (since 2014) fundraising and procurement with public reporting and high-profile government and military partnerships.
