188 Foundation

THE 188 FOUNDATION IS A DIRECT PHILANTHROPY ALLIANCE FORMED BY OUR GENEROUS DONORS, CONCENTRICS ELITE NETWORK AN INNATE CAPABILITY, AND OUR CAREFULLY CURATED PARTNERS. THE FOUNDATION SITS WITHIN A UNIQUE TRIFURCATION OF CAPABILITY, ACCESS, AND NEED. DUE TO OUR UNIQUE POSITION, WE BELIEVE ITS OUR MORAL RESPONSIBILITY AND HONOR TO ASSIST THOSE WHO NEED IT MOST. RESCUING JUST ONE PERSON CREATES PERPETUAL RIPPLES, AFFECTING MANY. WE INHERENTLY KNOW THAT EFFORT WILL ALWAYS BE WORTH IT. WHEN OUR DONORS COMMIT TO SUPPORTING 188, THEIR DONATION IS DIRECTLY TIED TO A MISSION. WITHIN DAYS, WE CAN PROVIDE FACES OF THOSE RESCUED BY OUR DONORS FUNDS. WE USE LESS THAN 1% OF OUR DONATIONS ON OVERHEAD. WHEN DONATIONS EXCEED RESCUE OPERATIONS, WE IDENTIFY PIVOTAL PARTNERS AND ENABLE THEIR OPERATIONS THROUGH FINANCIAL SUPPORT. WE UNDERSTAND OUR CAPABILITY IS A VERY SPECIFIC AND UNIQUE PART OF HUMANITARIAN RELIEF AND ARE CAREFUL TO CONSIDER, SUPPORT, AND RESPECT WHAT COMES BEFORE AND AFTER OUR EFFORTS.

WHEN RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE IN FEBRUARY OF 2022, OUR FIRST RESCUE OPERATION WAS WITHIN DAYS OF THE INITIAL INVASION AND, TO DATE (OPERATIONS ARE CONTINUING), WE HAVE CONDUCTED 37 UNIQUE RESCUE OPERATIONS FROM THROUGHOUT UKRAINE TO NEIGHBORING COUNTRIES RESULTING IN THE EVACUATION OF 66 PEOPLE, 5 DOGS, 2 CATS AND VARIOUS LOGISTICAL DELIVERIES SUCH AS MEDICINAL SUPPLIES, SAT PHONES, PALLETS OF FOOD, AND SOLAR PANELS. IN ADDITION, WE HAVE SUPPORTED 6 UKRAINIAN ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS A WOMENS SHELTER IN LVIV, A FOOD BANK IN KYIV, AN EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR DISPLACED CHILDREN IN PRAGUE, AND A SUPPORT CENTER TO ASSIST UNEMPLOYED CITIZENS DUE TO DISPLACEMENTS.
