Euromaidan Press seeks volunteer to coordinate army fundraisers

Euromaidan Press, a news outlet focused on Ukraine, has announced that it is looking for a volunteer to help raise funds for Ukrainian army units fighting in the war with Russia. According to the outlet, its readers have donated more than $1 million to Ukraine's defenders since 2022.

Over that period it has run 250 fundraisers for frontline units. Items bought include drones, jammers, tactical tablets, power stations and thermal sights. Each campaign is directed to a unit the outlet knows through trusted people, and every purchase and handover is documented for donors. Fundraiser No. 251, for air defense forces in Sumy Oblast, is currently open.

What the volunteer would do

The outlet wants to grow its team with someone who will learn the work and stay for the long term. Duties include turning a unit's request into a clear fundraiser, preparing announcements for the website and social media, writing follow-up reports for donors, and keeping in touch with donors and sponsors who match donations. Recording short videos is also part of the role. The volunteer would use AI tools to draft, translate and design, and would check everything they produce.

Requirements and how to apply

The outlet asks for reliability over months rather than weeks, knowledge of social media, willingness to learn AI tools and clear writing in English. Ukrainian is a plus, and the candidate's track record must be verifiable. Retirees, veterans and members of the Ukrainian diaspora are especially welcome.

The role is unpaid and offers training, a team experienced in these fundraisers and reports from units showing what the work paid for. Applicants should email the outlet with the subject line "Fundraising volunteer" and answer four questions: who they are and where they are based, their online or volunteer experience, how many hours a week they can give and for how long, and who can vouch for them. The volunteer will not handle any money. Shortlisted candidates will be asked to prepare one real fundraiser announcement as a trial.
