THE MISSION U.S.-Ukraine Foundation … is a publicly supported 501(c)(3), not-for-

profit non-governmental organization established in 1991 to support democracy, a free market, and

human rights for Ukraine.

The Foundation, headquartered in Washington, creates and sustains channels of communication between

the United States and Ukraine, in order to build peace and prosperity through an exchange of information.

The Foundation is dedicated to strengthening the mutual objectives of the U.S. and Ukraine, advancing

Ukraine as a cornerstone of regional stability and as a full partner in the community of nations.

The work of the Foundation, over the course of 20 years, has been significant in the promotion of

democratic and economic reforms in Ukraine. Since the beginning, when the Foundation was one of the

first Western organizations to establish a physical presence in Kyiv through the founding of the Pylyp

Orlyk Institute for Democracy, it has continued to provide Ukrainians with the necessary information and

technical assistance to transform their nation into a democratic, rule of law state.

Today, the Foundation, which has representative branch status in Ukraine, operates through its main office

in Kyiv.

The Foundation has earned a reputation in Ukraine and in the United States for its professionalism and

credibility in fostering non-partisan discussion, providing accurate information and encouraging

democratic reforms.

PROGRAMS

Public Policy

The first opportunity for the chairpersons of the Ukraine 2020 Task Forces to discuss future cooperation with Olexander

Motsyk, Ukraine’s Ambassador to U.S., occurred at a working luncheon meeting at the offices of the U.S.-Ukraine Foundation

on September 29, 2010. From left to right, David Rigsby, Nadia K. McConnell, Nadia Diuk, Ambassador Olexander Motsyk,

Ambassador William B. Taylor, Ambassador Steven Pifer and Ambassador Keith Smith.

Ukraine 2020 An initiative, announced by the Foundation in September 2010, designed to support Ukraine's European integration which President Yanukovych declared a priority goal for Ukraine. The initiative has three important components – Policy Dialogue,

Advancing Ukraine’s Image and Competitiveness, and People-to-People Exchanges. Ukraine 2020: Policy Dialogue is a collaborative and integrated action plan that brings together government officials, public policy experts, business groups, non-profit organizations and individuals interested in Ukraine’s European future. Ukraine 2020: Advancing Ukraine’s Image and Competitiveness is a strategic effort to improve Ukraine’s economic development and image world-wide. The Foundation has been an active proponent of Ukraine’s economic development and image through many programs over the past two decades, including its Community Partnerships Project and more recently, its Discover Ukraine initiative. Ukraine 2020: People-to-People Exchanges. For the people of Ukraine to maximize their role in their country’s development and European integration, the Foundation proposes an expansion of focused exchanges centering on youth leadership and professional technical assistance in private and public sectors.

The Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy

The Pylyp Orlyk Institute for Democracy in Kyiv receives support from the Foundation to provide Ukrainian policymakers with information on public policy issues, such as democracy, democratic institutions, the development of civil society and free-market economics, to help educate and impact decision-makers in Ukraine.

Economic Development The U.S.-Ukraine Foundation promotes business and economic development between Ukraine and the West through an open exchange of information from corporate, government, educational and non-profit entities.

This is accomplished through: - Market of Ukraine, a business development section of the Foundation's website, and - http://www.traveltoukraine.org, a website that promotes Ukraine’s travel and tourism industry - inclusion of business articles features in the Foundation’s e-newsletter, Update

- the posting of travel sector informational items through the Travel to Ukraine Facebook page - periodic meetings and other events organized by the Foundation.

The court approved the petition and awarded the Foundation with funds to establish an endowment that supports the year-to-year needs of four community institutions - the community center, elementary school, library, and rectory of the Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church.

Education This program educates the public regarding Ukraine and the U.S. and provides assistance to institutions and individuals in expanding educational opportunities relating to public policy, economic development, health care, leadership and democratic values.

The Foundation has welcomed many young men and women to its Washington office for an opportunity to work in U.S.-

Ukrainian relations, to explore career choices, and to learn the political process. Interns provide a valuable service to the
