About Us
The Foundation "Protection of the Future" unites two teams of volunteers - an initiative to support the military, volunteers and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which is led by the deputy commander of the 14th separate regiment of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, director of the Foundation Yevhen Karas, and the activities of a team of experienced volunteers who carefully study and promptly respond to the Defenders' requests (2022 - March 2024, Alla Martyniuk was at the head of the team)
The key task of the "Protection of the Future" fund is to support and provide units with the necessary equipment, which is difficult for fighters to get on their own and fast enough.
The advantage of the "Protection of the Future" fund is the optimal logistics of such items as UAVs, helmets and thermal imagers, as well as procurement at the lowest prices on the market.
We purchase and deliver equipment every month directly to the front line and into the hands of soldiers to speed up logistics and help units that do not have their own transport, or sometimes just time to go to post offices.
We are also engaged in the development of innovative night vision devices, which are installed on cars and allow you to move inconspicuously through dangerous areas of the frontline.
Moreover, the foundation organizes projects to support civilian women and children, as well as domestic animals.

Our results
Our Mission
The mission of the "Protection of the Future" fund is the operational and systematic provision of both the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and ordinary soldiers with the most necessary equipment on the front lines.
Our projects and partner support are aimed at complex and systemic, rather than point-based, problem solving.
Why we can be trusted
Direct communication with the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The "Protection of the Future" foundation actively interacts with the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and has information about the most urgent needs of the frontline directly from the military at the frontline.
Direct access to information from the front line
The foundation supports both individual units and hundreds of soldiers personally - thanks to many years of experience in frontline assistance and interaction with the Armed Forces. Such interaction ensures maximum efficiency and minimizes the probability of inefficient use of equipment.
Regular reporting
The Foundation regularly reports and publishes photo and video reports of everything that was purchased with the collected funds. You can familiarize yourself with the reporting on the Reports page.
Years of experience in military aid work
Since 2014, the foundation's team has been engaged in volunteer activities - in particular, the provision and logistics of military equipment for soldiers, so we have a lot of experience and expertise in what our military needs.
Publicity of the co-founder of the foundation
Yevhen Karas, co-founder of the foundation, has a good reputation both among military personnel and among the general public.
Revenue transparency
Practically all funds are sent exclusively to the official accounts of the fund. The only exception is PayPal, which only allows an individual to open an account. However, we are actively working on opening a foreign account and registering the fund with PayPal.
