The International Renaissance Foundation (IRF) is one of the largest Ukrainian charitable foundations that since 1990 has been developing in Ukraine an open society where everybody feels decent. During 30 years of activity, the Fund has supported over 9,000 projects worth over $ 230 million.
We work on the development of Ukraine in which human rights are securely protected, where citizens are involved in the formation of the state, the authorities are transparent and responsible and positive changes work for the benefit of the citizens.
The foundation was founded by the philanthropist George Soros and is part of the Open Society Foundations international network.
