My local Ukrainian Credit Union gave ways to donate to help both the war effort and the humanitarian crisis.



My mom and I also collected some medical and personal hygiene supplies for a collection drive organized by a nearby Ukrainian church.


edit: Forgot to ask for the tag

I know there's a "don't post about the Nazis" rule, but you probably shouldn't donate to an organization that funds the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalist Banderites

Link? I can find something something called the League of Ukrainian Canadians that may--is there a connection between that and the Canada-Ukraine Foundation?

We absolutely take seriously trying to steer charity donations to orgs that aren't funding far-right elements. If you'd be so kind as to expand on how these orgs are funding far-right groups in Ukraine we'll put a warning in the OP.

I didn't say "make another unsourced assertion whose connection to the organization linked is not immediately clear". I shouldn't have to google separately from your one-liners to 1) verify who the UCC are and 2) verify that the Canada-Ukraine Foundation at least works regularly with them.

It does seem like both those things are the case.

e: well providing the google link yourself is a minimum sourcing expectation I guess, please try to provide something like that in the first post in the future

It does look like they work with Banderite-adjacent orgs at the very least, so I'll update the OP.

FYI: the Canada-Ukraine Foundation has associations with far-right groups and we don't recommend donating to them.

Well, you could've asked Koos or sebmojo, who looked into it originally and had the UCC removed from the thread over a week ago.

It may occur to you, eventually, that the donation which caused this conversation was not to UCC. CUF is a separate entity, and it’s unclear if you or the 3 posters above are aware of that, or have read anything before posting. The supplied “evidence” likewise doesn’t talk about CUF at all, and it seems to be entirely a lucky coincidence that the two organisations are, in fact, affiliated.

Yes, but they were getting on Paul specifically for talking about the UCC, like he was saying something new or novel. Wasnt really talking about the original donation. I appreciate your input towards attempting to clear things up though.

It's right on the CUF main page, I assumed that went without saying

I would, personally, not leave a link in the OP up to the nazi supporting charity, even if I taped a hastily scrawled 'oopsie we got caught giving money to nazi supporters again, don't give them any more money' sign next to it.

It's definitely wise to put this sort of warning in the OP. I made my donation on the recommendation of members of my local Ukrainian community, and had I seen this sort of stuff in the OP I would have steered clear and looked for another organization. If another Canadian goon comes along hopefully they'll see the warning.

It's pretty funny that the most you're going to do is edit in a comment to a donation link to funding far right groups is "maybe you shouldn't donate to far right groups, but here's a link to do it anyway"

What, exactly, would you like us to do differently?

The link is there to remove any ambiguity about the specific organization. This, here, this exact website is an organization linked to Ukrainian far-right / Banderite organizations and we don't recommend donating. I think it's helpful to be as specific as possible because there are a ton of different charities out there.

It's pretty minor, but you could possibly still keep the description and link but edit to un-hyperlink it.

e: and as Sashimi mentioned it could be helpful to include a snippet (not link) that the UCC is also bad?

Its one thing to call out a bad group to donate to, its another to imply that it was done on purpose. Kindly gently caress off with these sort of posts.

Actual thanks to those who are highlighting troubled groups that people should avoid donating to, we will update the OP.

honestly if you truly want to be a helpful resource then you should include a section in the OP where you give warnings that these charities are associated with neonazis/banderites/other far rightists and include a citation if you have them

obviously dont include a hyperlink to the nazi charities' sites
