Art Against War Raises $107K in Support of Ukrainian Communities

Group 36 is proud to announce the success of Art Against War, an online auction that united artists, musicians, and writers in support of Ukrainian communities affected by the ongoing conflict. The auction, which ran from December 26, 2024, to January 7, 2025, raised an impressive $107,000 to fund critical humanitarian efforts.

Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of contributors and supporters worldwide, the funds raised will directly benefit two nonprofit projects:

Rubikus.helpUA: Providing evacuation assistance for civilians in conflict zones, ensuring safe transportation, temporary shelter, and medical care for those fleeing dangerous areas. This initiative has already helped thousands of people find safety and stability amidst the ongoing crisis.

Rita Vinokur, COO of Rubikus.helpUA: “The amount we raised will help more than 1,000 people. It means that every Ukrainian family fleeing from war during the next 3 months and reaching out to us will receive seats in evacuation buses, shelter in transit, tickets to the country of their final destination, and medical transport wherever needed. The other important impact is that the auction brought attention to the struggles of those who need our help with finding safety.”

Let’s Help: Offering humanitarian aid, food, warmth, and internet access to residents of frontline territories. This project also includes rescuing and rehoming animals affected by the war. The organization plays a vital role in ensuring that basic needs are met for those who have lost their homes and livelihoods.

Sofia Zhukova, Leader of Let’s Help: The funds raised will support shelters for over 400 displaced Ukrainians, including children, seniors, and people with disabilities. These shelters will be sustained for two months, offering vital aid and helping residents transition to more stable living conditions.

The diverse contributions from the global artistic community demonstrated the power of creativity in driving meaningful change. Special recognition goes to the dedicated team of Art Against War volunteers, whose tireless efforts were instrumental in organizing the auction, coordinating logistics, and managing communication with contributors and bidders. Their commitment, creativity, and hard work played a pivotal role in making the auction a resounding success.

“We are immensely grateful to all the musicians, artists, and authors for their donations of artwork, and we are thankful to everyone who bid on the lots and those who donated during our auction,” said Dimitry Dikman, CEO of Group 36.

In addition to the funds raised, the auction fostered a spirit of collaboration and unity among the participants. Many contributors reached out, expressing their interest in participating in the auction and using their talents to support the cause. Beyond the financial impact, the event served as a reminder of the potential of art to bring people together. Whether through bidding on unique items or engaging others, every participant played an important role in making a difference. The auction highlighted the ability of creative communities to mobilize resources and generate real-world impact in times of need.

Group 36, acting as the fiscal sponsor, played a key role in ensuring the transparent and effective allocation of all funds. By providing fiscal sponsorship and administrative support, the organization helped streamline the process, ensuring that every dollar raised was directed toward life-saving initiatives without unnecessary delays or overhead. Their involvement allowed the Art Against War team to focus on what they do best - mobilizing creativity and engaging supporters around the world.

Looking ahead, Group 36 plans to apply the valuable experience gained from this auction to future projects, continuing its mission to support those in need. The lessons learned in organizing such a significant international event have provided invaluable insights into effective collaboration, resource management, and community engagement. By building on these foundations, Group 36 seeks to enhance its future initiatives, ensuring they remain impactful and efficient in addressing urgent humanitarian challenges.
