The Bravery Foundation is a Canadian, BC incorporated, CRA registered private foundation that supports displaced Ukrainians and refugees.
DISPLACED UKRAINIANS
Our foundation is here to facilitate and connect Ukrainian refugees and displaced people with local Okanagan families, various community resources and businesses. We are here to ensure they have tangible items like clothes, household items, personal care product and food, as well as support them on their journey to becoming contributing members of our Canadian society.
Another goal of our foundation is to facilitate and connect Ukrainian refugees and displaced people with local families and resources. We've populated resource pages with links to Federal, Provincial, Regional (Okanagan), and local (Kelowna) resources to help those re-settling in Canada.
Additionally, we are working collaboratively with other volunteer groups in the Okanagan through our "Connections Program." Our goal is to facilitate and connect Ukrainian refugees and displaced people with local families, job opportunities and other services for the betterment of Ukrainians and Okanagan residents. The Bravery Foundation is proud a proud partner of the United Way BC through their iVolunteer program.
Many Canadians are unaware the majority of Ukrainians coming to Canada are considered temporary displaced people and not refugees. The main difference being, government programs which support refugees upon arrival in Canada are not available to displaced people. This is one of the reasons why The Bravery Foundation is working hard to create a support system for Ukrainian displaced people. One advantage displaced Ukrainians have is that they come a with a 3 year work Visa and their children immediately qualify for public education.

HUMANITARIAN AID
We aim to provide financial assistance for the necessities of life so volunteers, who quit their jobs to help victims of war in Ukraine do not end up destitute themselves. We also support Ukrainians living in Ukraine who have lost their homes, belongings and lives.
Money raised goes toward volunteers expenses, for travel, hotels, food and mortgage/bill payments so they and their families avoid poverty while they help the people of Ukraine. Through the purchase medical supplies, food, clean water and shelter we are able to help injured and displaced Ukrainians living in Ukraine.
