Sponsorship Campaign

AUV is searching for sponsors to help offset printing costs for our Community Visnyk-Newsletter

AUV’s Visnyk has been very well received by our community and we would like to continue with the momentum. Thousands of community members are reading this newsletter, however, printing costs are setting us back. The newsletter is sent via email to all Ukrainians who have their email registered with us, as well as published on our website and social media accounts. However, we need a selection of copies printed in order to be accessible for all. 

We are proposing a “Small businesses and associates” sponsorship campaign for Ukrainian businesses to get their name and contacts out in the community and support our Visnyk. For a $250 contribution, we will include your business logo and contact details on the remaining three issues printed for this year. We may issue you an invoice as you require.  

Your support with content submission and/or a financial contribution is greatly appreciated. Our community will only grow stronger if we continue to work together in building each other up. 

To pledge your support please contact Lesia at communications@auv.org.au or Slawko at president@auv.org.au

Ukraine Crisis Appeal

This Christmas, Ukrainian veterans need your help. Whilst we all battle the effects of COVID, Ukraine also continues the battle within their borders.

The Ukraine Crisis Appeal – a collaboration between the Australian Federation of Ukrainian Organisations (AFUO), Rotary Australia World Community Service (RAWCS) and Caritas Ukraine – is the largest Australian tax-deductible fundraising effort for Ukraine. 

The Veterans Rehabilitation Program aims to give veterans immediate support and enable them to re-engage as useful members of their communities. To date, it has changed the lives of 24 veterans and their families around 100 individuals in total. This report provides details of the success of the program.

The Veterans program has helped in many ways: integration back into their families and communities, it has enabled many to become employable which now enables them to support their families and provide them with the things we take for granted. But most of all it has restored their dignity.

Times are tough for many, but no amount is too little and donations are tax-deductible.
