BlueCheck (also known as BlueCheck Ukraine) is a nonprofit organization focused on providing aid to Ukraine by vetting charitable organizations for legitimacy and channeling funds to them.[1][2][3] Founded and publicly supported by actor Liev Schreiber, BlueCheck aims to ensure accountability and transparency in fundraising efforts to assist Ukrainian civilians and communities during the war. It performs due diligence on NGOs and distributes donations to those verified to operate effectively and ethically.[4][5][6]
History
editBlueCheck was launched in early 2022 in response to the humanitarian crisis following the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Actor Liev Schreiber, motivated by his Ukrainian family heritage, spearheaded the initiative to create a system to vet organizations collecting donations for Ukraine, addressing concerns about fraud and misallocation of aid.[5] The organization quickly established itself as a trusted intermediary by conducting thorough vetting and verification of nonprofits working in Ukraine.[7][4]
Mission and activities
editThe primary mission of BlueCheck is to provide transparency and assurance to donors by thoroughly vetting nonprofits and grassroots organizations working in Ukraine. The organization reviews financials, operations, and impact before certifying NGOs as trusted partners eligible to receive funds. This vetting process helps prevent fraud and increases donor confidence in the distribution of humanitarian aid.[4][6]
BlueCheck facilitates funding through partnerships and fundraising campaigns, including collaborations with commercial brands where proceeds support Ukrainian relief efforts. The organization also supports awareness campaigns to maintain engagement with donors and the public.[7][4]
Organizational structure
editBlueCheck operates as a charitable foundation with a leadership team including Liev Schreiber in a public ambassador role. It works collaboratively with vetted nonprofit NGOs and community groups based largely in Ukraine, managing donations and distributing funds according to verified need and operational capacity.[4]
