Our programs

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Advocacy

The UNWLA Advocacy Program has its roots in the early 1930s when members of the organization appealed to then President Roosevelt and the First Lady for their assistance in recognizing the ongoing famine-genocide unfolding across much of Ukraine. Today UNWLA Advocacy is centered on educating US elected officials on all levels about the current situation in Ukraine as well as in areas such educational and cultural advocacy.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

To continue to advocate, educate, cultivate and care for Ukrainian Americans and Ukrainians worldwide

Working through National Standing Committees, we engage on the regional as well as local branch level. With members across the country, we set strategic goals and priority areas for our efforts in all four areas (advocacy, education, culture and social welfare).

Our organization is comprised of nearly 2000 members who, together with their families and friends, comprise a powerful network of volunteers.

Our Annual report for 2022 which describes in detail our efforts in that year can be found here: https://unwla.org/annual-report-2022/

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
