The International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) is one of the largest Ukrainian charitable foundations that since 1990 has been developing an open society in Ukraine, where everyone's dignity is paramount. In 30 years of activity, the Fund has supported over 10,000 projects for the total of over $ 320 million.
We work to help develop Ukraine in which human rights are securely protected, where citizens are engaged in building the state, where the authorities are transparent and accountable, and positive changes work for the benefit of citizens.
IRF was founded by philanthropist George Soros and is part of the Open Society Foundations network.
