From its inception, the District #1 fund has been actively seeking and finding people, companies, and other nonprofit organizations that become our reliable partners, helping to bring the fund’s projects to life. We take pride in the fact that most of the organizations funding our activities approached us independently. The activities of District #1 and its philosophy of “Treat it like it’s your own” are the most powerful force that unites people and organizations around the fund who share our vision.
But we don’t stop there. District #1 continues to search for organizations and individuals to collaborate with, enabling us to help a greater number of those in need and to change humanity’s lives for the better.
We have implemented transparent and strict procurement policies, allowing us to select the most effective contractors and vendors at reasonable costs for our projects. We regularly and systematically report to our partners about the targeted and transparent use of funds according to their standards. We also offer our own reporting system developed by District #1 if the partner’s policies don’t dictate specific requirements.
Budget Optimization in Construction
Formulating budgets in construction projects is complex, often inaccurate, and always expensive, with a significant portion of the funds typically consumed by intermediary companies. Understanding this, District #1 has created and continually develops an in-house team functioning as a development structure. This enables us to work directly with contractors who perform the actual work on the construction site. In terms of reconstruction, our fund essentially acts as a non-profit development organization staffed with architects, engineers, and specialists in managing construction projects.
The primary focus of the fund is Ukraine’s reconstruction, livelihood opportunities, and the provision of humanitarian aid to the population.
District #1 operates in almost all regions of Ukraine affected by the devastating impact of the war and has a number of local partners helping to expand the geography of assistance.
Our goal is to become an international humanitarian organization with its headquarters in Ukraine and to continue implementing projects in the future that will improve the lives of Ukrainians through changes in the country’s infrastructure.
