# Give [Fundraiser to Support Translating Ukraine Summer Institute 2026 (EBRD Community Initiative 1:1 Match).](https://community.alumni.harvard.edu/give/51721064) --- Thanks to the donations of individuals and organizations that have supported the Institute since its founding in 1973, the Ukrainian Research Institute has advanced the knowledge of Ukraine through research, teaching, and publication. Consider supporting the work of the Institute with a [tax-deductible contribution](https://community.alumni.harvard.edu/give/42361308) of any size. Your support will further the growth of Ukrainian Studies at Harvard and will sustain the Institute in its mission to foster greater understanding of Ukraine and Ukraine-related topics. SortTo say that 2022 has been a difficult year is a massive understatement. The people of Ukraine have borne unfathomable suffering, as Russia's unprovoked, full-scale invasion has cost them their lives, livelihood, homes, and stability. Ukrainians and scholars of Ukraine have also borne the burden of educating the general public about Ukraine, its history, and its basic right to exist as a free and independent country. As you think about year-end gifts, whether for tax purposes or in a general spirit of generosity, we ask first that you [**consider ways to help Ukraine**](https://huri.harvard.edu/russia-ukraine-war) by supporting effective humanitarian initiatives and war efforts. At the same time, we humbly ask you to keep HURI in mind. Our operations are funded by donations, in the form of endowments and individual gifts. Gifts you make today will go toward funding research fellowships, both our traditional [fellowships program](/fellowships "Fellowships") as well as the wartime [non-residential fellowships](/news/now-accepting-applications-non-residential-fellowships-scholars-ukraine "Now Accepting Applications: Non-Residential Fellowships for Scholars from Ukraine") aimed to support Ukrainian scholars who cannot or do not want to leave Ukraine. Donations also support our publications activities, such as our 2022 English-language translations of Stanislav Aseyev's [*The Torture Camp on Paradise Street*](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/the-torture-camp-on-paradise-street) and Volodymyr Rafeyenko's [*The Length of Days*](https://books.huri.harvard.edu/books/the-length-of-days). Donated funds allow the [MAPA: Digital Atlas of Ukraine](https://gis.huri.harvard.edu) program to continue developing a data-rich tool for researching and teaching about Ukraine. Donations support scholarships for students who wish to attend the [Harvard Ukrainian Summer Institute](/husi) to learn the Ukrainian language or take subject-matter courses on Ukraine's history, literature, or society. And they allow our bibliographer to continue [expanding the collection](/library-and-archives "Library and Archives") of Ukrainian-language books and archival materials at Harvard Library. Financial donations sustain HURI's general activities, allowing us to continue our [public events series](https://www.youtube.com/@ukrainianresearchinstitute1041/streams) and produce high-quality resources, such as [TCUP Briefs](/tcup-briefs "TCUP Briefs") and [TCUP Reports](/tcup-reports "TCUP Reports"). As a whole, your gift will help us pursue our mission: **to advance knowledge of Ukraine through teaching, research, and publication in the humanities and the social sciences at Harvard and worldwide**. Thank you for your generosity and ongoing support.
