The KSE Foundation discloses its charitable activities for audit. Crowe Ukraine will conduct an audit of the philanthropic activities of the KSE Foundation in March 2022. Crowe Ukraine will also carry out a monthly audit of the Foundation’s activities in the following months.

The task of the audit is to verify all the funds being used for their intended purpose and do not stay idle on the accounts, with contracts executed, and time deliveries. Moreover, the auditors will provide recommendations for further improvement of the Fund’s process and operations.

Our guiding principles

We believe that transparency, solid governance, and regular audit are fundamental for successful and sustainable programming. They also create trust between the donors and the Foundation.

• Fundraising is centralized on confirmed organization accounts. No individual accounts are used for fundraising purposes. All funds are used efficiently and promptly. Funds remain on accounts not more than 1-2 days). Leftover financial balances on accounts are minimal (1-3% of overall monthly turnover).
• All target funding is utilized for the intended purpose. There are no undone contracts, no fraud, and waste.
• Finance inflow and outflow correspond with all procurements and services.
• All procurements correspond with specifications provided by experts, donors, and recipients. Costs of purchased humanitarian goods are equal to or less than the current market price. 
• All deliveries correspond with invoiced paid, number of items purchased, costs, destination, and recipient. Delivery delays do not exceed 5-10% of all contracts.
• Operational and financial losses do not exceed 1-5%. Losses include poor quality supplies, forfeiture, expenses due to delays, and reimbursements.
• All operational and administrative expenses (exchange rate difference, salaries, etc.) do not exceed 2% of all collected funds, i.e., less than the international standard rate (5%).

Now it has become evident that the main danger for civilians at war in Ukraine is death from blood loss from shrapnel wounds after the shelling. Thousands of lives could be saved if bleeding is stopped quickly. The Ministry of Health of Ukraine has confirmed to KSE the need of up to 300,000 kits for regional administrations, hospitals, territorial defense, emergency services, military, and Ukrainian Railways (Ukrainian state railroad company, evacuating people). So now our priority is supplying those in need with medical stop the bleed kits.

Our first shipment of 5,000 kits has been delivered to Ukraine to Kharkiv, Mykolaiv, Sumy and Chernihiv. 10,000 kits are on the way and we’ve secured 70,000 more from suppliers. We continue our Ukraine Humanitarian Relief campaign to raise 25,000,000 to supply those in need.

We would greatly appreciate it if you could support us and spread the word about our initiative among your communities. One kit can save one life. The cost of one delivered medical kit is ~$100*.

Thank you from all our heart for your support!

* The cost includes the price of the first aid kit from the supplier, transportation costs to Ukraine, unexpected expenses incl. customs, price fluctuations
