UAFest is 100% volunteer-run. Every year, we put the festival's reach behind a cause that matters — right now, that's healing for Ukrainian children affected by war.

War takes more than homes and safety — it steals childhood. This year, UAFest is raising funds for Kids of Ukraine, a nonprofit dedicated to restoring the mental and emotional well-being of children affected by war — continuing the charity partnership that reached more than 4,000 festival visitors in 2025.
100% of funds raised through our GoFundMe campaign are transferred directly to Kids of Ukraine. Every dollar goes toward programs that help a child laugh, play and believe in a peaceful future again.
Get involved in events, educational programs, or helping newly arrived Ukrainian families — UAFest runs entirely on volunteers.
Businesses and organizations can support UAFest directly through a sponsorship package, with visibility across the festival grounds and our materials.
For a larger corporate gift, an in-kind donation, or any other way of supporting UAFest, contact us directly and we'll arrange it.
Donations made through our GoFundMe campaign go 100% to Kids of Ukraine, our verified charity partner supporting children and families affected by war. Learn more about their work at kidsofua.org.
Yes — the active campaign is organized by the Ukrainian Community of Lanark County, the same volunteer-run non-profit that organizes UAFest, and raises funds specifically for Kids of Ukraine. In October 2024 the festival presented a $9,395 cheque to Save Ukraine, our 2024 charity partner.
The campaign total changes as new donations come in — see the live GoFundMe page for the current amount raised.
