We are pleased to provide a report on the assistance we provided our defenders for the period spanning January through March 2024!
📌 In February 2024, the "1991" fund began full-fledged operations with a fully formed team, marking an important milestone in our journey. The foundation's first steps at the beginning of the year represented our early but steady progress. We are deeply grateful to the wonderful community that has rallied around us and constantly supported our initiatives. Our heartfelt gratitude goes out to everyone who contributes to and engages with the fund in any way.
📌 For the past three months, you have consistently and tirelessly supported the army through daily donations. These contributions ranged from small amounts of 15 hryvnias to substantial ones. A single donation of 566,000 hryvnias enabled us to purchase four drones. The marines received their equipment on the left bank of the Kherson region.
📌 Over the course of these 91 days, we successfully fulfilled 35 requests from 21 military units. Our deliveries included pickup trucks, tow trucks, FPV drones (daytime and nighttime vision), two SHARK aerial systems, electronic devices, technical equipment, and numerous accessories for drones.
📌 We successfully completed the “So the Crane Continues to Fly" project, which provided 170 FPV drones to the 73rd Marine Center of Special Operations Forces. Additionally, we completed the "Black Fundraiser" project by delivering 18 nighttime drones to the 80th Air Assault Brigade. The “Fury” calendar project resulted in bringing the stories of 12 soldiers defending us in the Russian-Ukrainian war to your homes. Stay tuned as we prepare to reveal the results of the purchases made through this project. The fund also completed its first raffle of the "A Car for a Donation" initiative, presenting the car to the lucky donor. We will report on what we did with the money gathered from the fundraiser soon.
📌 Throughout these three months, we have engaged with popular Ukrainian media outlets, telling them about our "Fury" calendar project. We gave project presentations in Lviv and Poltava, making meaningful connections with many of you. Our team participated in numerous interviews discussing the foundation's goals. We are grateful to have established partnerships with trusted partners who share our vision for victory. The reputation of the fund has grown significantly, resonating louder within our community. We have expanded our presence on social media platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn, inviting you to join us there for further updates and engagement.
📌 This is our first report, portraying the first steps of the foundation. We express our gratitude to everyone who supports us on this journey and stands with us. Moving forward, we will have more projects, help for the military, and efforts to support Ukrainian defenders. Thank you for your trust.
Yours,
The “1991” Fund
