The Genesis for Ukraine Foundation was established in April 2022 in response to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine and the need for systematic, long-term support.
The Foundation focuses on supporting Genesis employees and their family members serving in the military, contributing to Ukraine’s resilience, and developing educational and veteran-focused initiatives that facilitate reintegration into civilian life.
The Foundation also implements large-scale initiatives in partnership with other organizations. These include Ukraine’s first Master’s Program for Veterans, an Innovation Space featuring a 3D printing farm at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute (KPI), entrepreneurship training and grant programs for veterans, and other projects that create new opportunities for individuals and Ukraine’s economy.
As of early 2026:
- UAH 650+ million — total support provided to Ukraine by Genesis and its partners.
- UAH 26+ million — direct financial assistance provided to Genesis employees and their family members serving in the military.
