“Dolonia” — charity you can see down to the last hryvnia

We have created a donation platform for vetted charitable foundations in Ukraine.

An open ledger of every collection, reports with receipts, certificates for tax relief — and not a single percent taken from donations.

Why we created it

Trust is the essential thing charity cannot work without

For over 12 years, the Mriyu Zhyty foundation has been helping children with disabilities and their families. Over that time we have come to understand one thing well: people are glad to help when they can see where their money goes — and they stop when they cannot.

In autumn 2026, the dobro.ua platform, through which Ukrainian foundations had collected funds for many years, announced it would cease operations; from 7 October 2026, regular contributions there stopped. Foundations and donors were left without the familiar place where collections are checked, money moves transparently, and reports are mandatory.

We decided not to wait for someone else to create such a place, and built “Dolonia” — a separate project with its own rules, technology and responsibility. The Mriyu Zhyty foundation became its Operator: it runs the platform, accepts donations into a separate account, and vets foundations, collections and reports.

How we got here

How we realised what needed to be done

We studied international experience

We looked at how the largest charitable platforms in the world and in Ukraine work — and why some of them have stumbled: other people’s money mixed with their own, foundations’ pages published without their consent, places in the catalogue sold for money.

We relied on the law

The platform’s rules are based on the Law “On Charitable Activity and Charitable Organisations”, the Civil and Tax Codes, the law on personal data, and sanctions rules.

We put ourselves in everyone’s place

Donors need to see the result, the foundation needs a convenient tool without a percentage, and a person in need needs one application instead of dozens of phone calls to foundations.

We wrote down simple rules

Only vetted organisations collect funds. Every collection is checked by a person. Every hryvnia is visible. A report with receipts is mandatory.

Capabilities

What “Dolonia” can do

Only vetted foundations

Checks against the Unified State Register and the sanctions lists of Ukraine, the EU, the USA and the UN, verification of documents and bank statements, a video call with the head of the organisation, and a paper agreement.

A person checks every collection

A moderator publishes a collection only after checking the documents — within 2 working days. Donors can see anonymised copies of the documents.

An open ledger

Every incoming payment, the bank’s fee as a separate line, and every payout to the foundation are visible on the collection’s page.

A report with receipts within 30 days

What has been done, expenses with documents, photos. Automatic checks look for duplicates and forgeries; a person makes the decision.

0% taken from collections

The platform takes no percentage from donations. The contribution to its operation is separate and only at the donor’s wish.

Funds reach the foundation within 5 working days

Once a collection is complete, the funds are transferred to the foundation’s account under the agreement. For ongoing needs — on request, with accounts.

Places in the catalogue are not for sale

Collections are ordered according to open rules, and “Urgent” appears only where it is genuinely so.

Security and privacy

Card details are entered on the bank’s page. Beneficiaries’ documents are encrypted, every file is scanned by antivirus, and the team’s activity log cannot be altered retrospectively.

This is what a fundraiser looks like on Dolonia

Photos and story, the goal and how much is still needed, who runs the collection and when the moderator checked the documents.

The “Documents”, “Ledger” and “Supporters” tabs — everything you need to trust, on one page.

Donors

No registration, from UAH 10: by card (Ukrainian or foreign), Apple Pay, Google Pay, or by bank transfer using the details — one-off or monthly. A receipt for every donation, an annual certificate for tax relief, and a letter when the foundation has reported.

Foundations

Free of charge and with no percentage taken from collections. The foundation’s page, five types of collections — from targeted to a shopping list — and a team workspace with roles. The platform issues receipts and certificates to donors itself.

People who need help

One application instead of dozens of calls: it will be seen by vetted foundations, and contact details go only to the foundation that agrees to help. The platform does not ask for prepayments and does not collect money to personal cards.

How it works

The path of a single donation

  1. Choose a collection

    Every collection is published by a moderator after the documents have been checked: the page shows the foundation, the goal, documents, the ledger and reports.

  2. You help

    No registration, from UAH 10, one-off or monthly. A receipt arrives by email.

  3. The donation appears in the ledger

    The money goes to the Mriyu Zhyty foundation’s separate donation account as Operator, and the incoming payment is immediately visible in the collection’s ledger.

  4. The foundation receives the funds

    Once the collection is complete, within 5 working days the money is transferred to the foundation’s account under the agreement.

  5. A report with receipts

    Within 30 days after the payout, the foundation reports: what has been done, expenses, receipts, photos. The moderator checks the report — and you receive an email.

All of the platform’s money — live

On the “Transparency” page, the site calculates incoming funds, payouts to foundations and bank fees directly from the ledgers, and each time reconciles the balance to the last kopiyka.

The Operator spends on the platform’s operation only from a separate account — and by law no more than 20% of annual income. “Dolonia” is funded by voluntary donor contributions, grants and partnerships with companies.

The “Transparency” page

Who runs the platform

The Operator is the Mriyu Zhyty foundation

The operator of “Dolonya” — the charitable organisation “Mriyu Zhyty” Charitable Foundation, EDRPOU code 39333086, entered in the Register of Non-Profit Institutions and Organisations.

The operator accepts donations into a separate donations account and transfers them to funds under cooperation agreements, verifies funds, fundraisers and reports, and requires reporting on every payout. The fund running a fundraiser is responsible for its content, the authenticity of its documents and the targeted use of the money.

Important to Know

Frequently Asked Questions

Does “Dolonya” take a percentage of donations?

No. The platform takes no percentage from fundraisers. The donor may cover the bank’s card payment fee themselves by ticking the box on the form; if not, the fee appears as a separate line in the fundraiser’s ledger. Contributions towards running the platform are entirely optional.

Who can raise funds on “Dolonya”?

Only organisations that have passed verification and signed an agreement: charitable foundations, non-profit public organisations, municipal and state institutions, housing associations (OSBBs), and religious organisations (for charitable programmes). Personal fundraising to a card is not available here.

When does a fund receive the money?

When a targeted fundraiser reaches 100%, the money is transferred to the fund’s account specified in the agreement within 5 business days. For ongoing needs, funds are transferred on request from the fund with its accounts, approved by a moderator. After each payout, the fund has 30 days to submit a report.

Can I get a tax deduction?

Yes: in the donor’s account there is an annual certificate of donations for a tax deduction (up to 4% of taxable income per year, sub-paragraph 166.3.2 of the Tax Code of Ukraine). The decision is made by the tax authority.

How can I make sure a fundraiser is genuine?

Look for the “Verified” mark: the fundraiser page shows who verified the documents and when, anonymised copies of documents, the fund’s ledger and reports. The authenticity of a receipt or certificate can be checked using the QR code.

How is “Dolonya” connected to the Mriyu Zhyty foundation?

The Mriyu Zhyty foundation is the platform’s Operator: it runs the platform and is responsible for its rules. At the same time, the foundation also raises funds on “Dolonya” as an ordinary verified fund — under the same rules as everyone else.
