The Center for Disaster Philanthropy (CDP) – The CDP Foundation operates in the United States and worldwide. Its mission is to harness the power of philanthropy to mobilize a full range of resources that strengthen communities’ ability to withstand disasters and recover equitably from them.

Since February 2023, CDP has been supporting Charitable Foundation Rokada in establishing Advisory Boards for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). The project covers 7 regions in Ukraine. The project’s goal is to assist in addressing issues related to the implementation of state policies regarding the protection of the rights of internally displaced persons, support, and protection of business entities that have relocated to the territorial communities’ territories.

The Oxford Committee for Famine Relief (United Kingdom) is an international coalition of 15 organizations operating in more than 90 countries worldwide. The aim of this coalition’s activities is to address issues of poverty and the associated injustice on a global scale. In all Oxfam projects, the primary goal is to provide people with the opportunity to exercise their rights, personally manage their lives, receive fair compensation for their work, and more.

Since December 2022, with the support of Oxfam, Charitable Foundation Rokada has been implementing the project “Providing support and services to vulnerable populations among internally displaced persons and affected communities” in the Kyiv and Chernihiv regions.

The International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) is one of the largest Ukrainian charitable foundations, which has been working since 1990 to create an open society in Ukraine where everyone feels dignified, citizens are engaged in the state-building process, and the government is transparent and accountable. The foundation was founded by philanthropist George Soros and is part of the international network of Open Society Foundations.

Charitable Foundation Rokada has a long history of collaboration with the IRF:

• 2010-2012: A joint project was implemented to continue the operation of the Integration Center for refugees and to organize summer activities for their children;
