About the Foundation «Protection of the Future»
The «Protection of the Future» Charitable Foundation was founded in April 2022 by veterans and volunteers who have been working for Ukraine's victory since 2014.
Our activities are focused on the prompt delivery of the necessary technical means and tactical equipment directly to the front line.
The Foundation's team fulfills requests from the military on a daily basis to purchase and deliver vehicles, UAVs, radios, first aid kits, helmets and ammunition to the front line.
A separate area is the innovative development of attack drones and night vision devices for cars. In addition, we organize humanitarian projects to support public authorities and civilians in frontline settlements.
In the spring of 2024, the foundation began supporting a UAV pilot school, where active military personnel will acquire practical skills and, after training, will be sent to combat units in their specialty.
Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, our volunteers have made more than 100 trips to the frontline, covering tens of thousands of kilometers, visiting frontline settlements and positions of the Ukrainian Defense Forces in Donetsk, Luhansk, Kharkiv, Sumy, Kyiv, Chernihiv, Zaporizhzhia, Mykolaiv, and Kherson regions.
The total amount of the aid donated exceeds $10 million, a significant portion of which is donations from donors.

This interaction maximizes efficiency and minimizes the likelihood of ineffective use of equipment.
