About Kyiv Mohyla Foundation of America

The Kyiv Mohyla Foundation of America (KMFA) is a U.S. nonprofit organization based in Chicago, IL, dedicated to supporting the National University of Kyiv-Mohyla Academy through comprehensive programs that strengthen Ukraine's higher education system. Operating for more than two decades, KMFA connects American donors and institutional partners with transformative educational initiatives that prepare the next generation of Ukrainian leaders. The Foundation's core services include administering scholarships and emergency assistance for students and faculty, facilitating student and faculty exchange programs, coordinating volunteer engagement opportunities, and managing fundraising campaigns that support academic excellence. KMFA specializes in advancing democratic governance, public policy, and civil society through targeted academic program investments. The organization also provides critical support for digital infrastructure to ensure uninterrupted education and research, and develops partnerships that connect Ukrainian scholars and students with institutions worldwide. By channeling individual and corporate funding toward NaUKMA's leadership, KMFA ensures that Ukraine's most prestigious educational institution can continue its mission of developing leaders committed to the rule of law, sustained economic growth, and human dignity. Whether through direct scholarships, research support, veterans aid, or community programs, KMFA's multifaceted approach strengthens the intellectual and moral foundations of Ukraine during both peacetime and extraordinary challenges. The Foundation serves as a vital bridge between the United States and Ukraine, enabling Americans to directly invest in Ukraine's capacity to rebuild, reform, and lead through education.
