Donate
Under a minute, either way. Your money buys tourniquets, blood-clotting gauze, and IFAKs that medics in Ukraine asked for by name. Nothing is deducted on the way.
Give by card
One-time or monthly. Takes about a minute.
No fees. Your $50 arrives as $50.
- Choose an amount, and whether to give once or every month.
- Pay by card on Zeffy’s secure form.
- Your tax receipt is emailed to you automatically.
Monthly gifts matter most — they let us commit to an order before the money is in.
Zeffy charges non-profits nothing, which is why we use it. It stays free by asking at checkout whether you would like to add an optional contribution to Zeffy — separate from your gift to us, and entirely your choice.

Want to give monthly? Most bank apps let you schedule a repeating Zelle payment — look for “repeat” or “recurring” on the screen where you enter the amount.
Zelle works inside 2,400+ US bank and credit-union apps, and only inside them — there is no Zelle button on any website.
What your donation buys
$35
One tourniquet
A CAT-style tourniquet stops catastrophic bleeding in under a minute. Medics ask for these more than anything else.
$43
Blood-clotting gauze
Hemostatic gauze for wounds a tourniquet cannot reach — junctional injuries to the neck, shoulder, and groin.
Most needed
$70
One complete IFAK
A full Individual First Aid Kit: a genuine CAT tourniquet, an Israeli-style pressure dressing, compressed gauze, trauma shears, a splint, and a thermal blanket.
Give any amount you like — these are just the things your gift turns into.
Other ways to give
By check
Make it payable to Lifeline for Ukraine Inc. and mail it to:
Lifeline for Ukraine Inc.
16 Duffield Dr
West Hartford, Connecticut 06107-1213
Employer matching
Many employers match charitable gifts dollar for dollar, and most matching portals only need our name and EIN: Lifeline for Ukraine Inc., EIN 99-2880632. It is ten minutes of paperwork that can double the number of kits we send.
Donor-advised funds and stock
We can accept gifts from a donor-advised fund. Please email us first so we can make sure it is routed correctly.
Tax deductibility
Lifeline for Ukraine Inc. is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization (EIN 99-2880632). Donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. Zeffy emails a receipt automatically; for Zelle or check donations, contact us if you need an acknowledgement letter for your records.
A note on safety
We will only ever ask you to give through the methods on this page. We do not solicit donations by direct message, we do not accept gift cards or cryptocurrency, and we will never ask you to send money to an individual’s account. Before you confirm a Zelle payment, check that your bank shows the recipient as LIFELINE FOR UKRAINE INC.
