The Cobblestone Freeway Foundation was originally established to support cultural projects in Ukraine. Because of Russia’s war against Ukraine, we have decided to shift our focus to helping Ukrainians who need support.
1. We are a small, grassroots organisation.
2. We send donations directly to Ukrainians.
3. Our volunteers in Ukraine help Ukrainians daily.
4. 95% of all funds go directly towards helping Ukrainians.
We have four priority groups that receive our donations:
Ukrainian refugees: any person or family that has been displaced because of the war
Cobblestone Freeway Tours staff and their families who have lost the ability to earn an income. Many have been displaced from their homes. They are currently volunteering to help orphans, refugees and journalists.
Musicians, artisans, performers and anyone who has been involved with Cobblestone Freeway Tours over the years who have lost their ability to earn an income and provide for their families
Members of the tourism industry in Ukraine that have also lost their ability to earn an income and provide for their families.
Your donations are sent directly in cash to a Ukrainian who is in need. Donations also help purchase food, shelter, water, medicine, blankets, baby formula, a night’s stay in a safe place and a tank of gas to drive from Lviv to safety, among many other things.
The Cobblestone Freeway Foundation is a not-for-profit society registered in Alberta. We are working towards charitable status, but currently we are unable to issue tax-deductible receipts. About 5% of donations go toward covering administrative expenses.
