Mission
Ukraine AID is a 501(c)3 charitable organization incorporated in April, 2022 and based in Great Falls, Virginia. Our mission is to provide hope and support to Ukrainians in defense of their independence and to mitigate hardships created by the invasion. We achieve this mission by:
Shipping containers of medical equipment and supplies to hospitals.
Shipping surgical and emergency room supplies to front line mobile military hospitals.
Supplying evacuation vehicles, Starlink systems, electronic jammers, computers, generators and tactical field equipment to front line battalions.
Supporting Ukrainian nonprofit organizations working with internally displaced people and amputees.
About
Ukraine Aid was founded by Dennis De Santis whose maternal grandparents immigrated to the US from Lviv, Ukraine. He enjoyed a 40 year career in international economic development beginning as a Peace Corps Volunteer and retiring as a CEO of an international consulting company. Dennis has worked almost continuously on Ukrainian economic and political issues for 30 years, since his first visit in 1992. He felt compelled to aid friends and acquaintances in a country he knows well. Together with family and friends, all on a volunteer basis, the team self-financed start-up costs, received 501(c)3 status, acquired donor management software, established a network of Ukrainian Volunteers and logistical networks. In late 2025, Ukraine Aid shipped 100 tons of medical, tactical and humanitarian supplies valued at $5,000,000.
In our 4th year of operation, our impact continues to grow as we demonstrate the support of American people to the Ukrainian cause. We have shipped 100 tons of emergency medical aid with a value of $5 million. Including 12 containers of medical equipment, 10 evacuation vehicles, numerous electronic jammers, Starlink systems, computers, generators, tactical field equipment and assorted humanitarian relief including prosthetic devices.
