What the Fundraiser Supports

Proceeds benefit the Ukrainian Freedom Fund, a U.S. 501(c)(3) nonprofit whose mission is to support a free, democratic, and independent Ukraine. The organization says funds raised through the symposium help train the next generation of Ukrainian military leaders in NATO-standard decision-making, while also supporting agile assistance efforts that include drones, vehicles, medical aid, and other critical support for Ukrainian defenders.
