Help Rebuild Ukraine’s Future.

Join the Founders’ Circle — an extraordinary movement of people and organisations committed to restoring hope through good mental health.

Ukraine’s recovery will not be measured only by the buildings that are rebuilt, but by the people who have recovered and can thrive after the war. Restart Foundation’s Founders’ Circle brings together a small group of committed supporters who believe that investing in mental health today will help shape a stronger, healthier and more resilient Ukraine tomorrow.

Together, we are creating lasting change.

Why the Founders’ Circle?

The Founders’ Circle isn’t simply a giving programme. It is a partnership.

Members commit to supporting Restart Foundation over at least three years, providing the stable, unrestricted funding that allows us to plan confidently, respond quickly to emerging needs and invest in the highest-impact opportunities.

Alongside financial support, our Founders bring their ideas, expertise, introductions and advocacy to help grow our impact across Ukraine.

Flexible funding changes lives

Founders’ Circle support allows us to:

Launch new programmes where needs are greatest

Recruit outstanding psychologists and specialists

Invest in monitoring, research and innovation

Strengthen governance and safeguarding

Respond quickly when circumstances change

Build the long-term sustainability of Restart Foundation

Because the war continues to evolve, flexibility is one of the greatest gifts our supporters can provide.

Ukraine’s recovery cannot wait.

Every day children continue to experience air raids. Teachers continue to support traumatised classrooms. Parents continue to carry enormous emotional burdens. Veterans continue returning from the front line needing specialist psychological care.

Mental health cannot wait until the war ends. The decisions we make today will shape Ukraine for decades.
