Organizations that achieve Level 2 or above are included in the platform’s catalog of verified organizations. Level 4 is the highest result available.
What this means for the Fund’s work
The verification provides external confirmation that the Fund meets recognized standards of accountability, transparency and organizational capacity.
It also strengthens the Fund’s ability to work with institutional donors and partners that require documented due diligence before beginning a partnership.
Strong foundations for long-term support
Children of Heroes stands alongside children who have lost one or both parents to the war, from the first conversation with their family until they reach adulthood. Providing this care consistently requires reliable processes, responsible governance and the trust of those who make the work possible.
Verification by Philanthropy in Ukraine confirms that these foundations are in place at Children of Heroes. We are grateful to every supporter and partner whose trust enables us to continue this work. Together, we will keep doing everything we can to ensure that children can rely on steady, thoughtful support over the long term.
