About us
The 'Get Together for Ukraine' foundation is located in The Hague and was founded in June 2022
with the aim of raising money for acute emergency aid to the victims of the war in Ukraine. The
foundation organizes cultural fundraising events with performances by talented, young Ukrainian
musicians and artists who had to leave Ukraine because of the war and now reside in the Netherlands as
refugees.
The money we raise is donated to local charities in Ukraine that operate in the areas hardest hit by
the war and where humanitarian aid is most needed.
We are extremely grateful for every contribution to this project and we thank you in advance for
your involvement and support!
