Ukrainian National Women’s League of America

The Ukrainian National Women's League of America (UNWLA) is a premier organization dedicated to advancing educational, cultural, and humanitarian initiatives serving the Ukrainian community and beyond. Based in New York, NY, the UNWLA operates as a comprehensive resource for women of Ukrainian descent and affiliation, offering a century-long tradition of advocacy, education, cultural preservation, and humanitarian care. The organization's core service areas include humanitarian assistance programs that provide targeted monetary grants and material supplies for medical assistance, sustenance, and emergency relief to Ukrainians in need globally. The UNWLA's educational initiatives empower Ukrainian communities through scholarship programs—having awarded over 5,000 scholarships totaling more than $5 million since 1967—and through teacher training materials and cultural education programs. The organization also maintains robust cultural programming that showcases Ukrainian art, language, traditions, and heritage through projects including the renowned Museum of Ukrainian Folk Art. Additionally, the UNWLA engages in advocacy work with elected officials to promote Ukrainian interests and cultural recognition in the United States. Operating as a tax-exempt 501(c)(3) charitable organization, the UNWLA coordinates its efforts through multiple branches across numerous states, ensuring consistent service delivery and community engagement. The organization is guided by principles of Christian ethics, religious tolerance, political non-partisanship, and universal respect for human rights, making it a trusted partner for both individual donors and collaborative organizations seeking to support Ukrainian causes.
