U4U Sponsorship Hub

Projects

Washington State Sponsorship Hub

The Washington State Sponsorship Hub was a grant program launched by three Ukrainian-American local organizations in collaboration with Welcome.US. This initiative aimed to support sponsors of Ukrainian refugees arriving under the Uniting for Ukraine program (U4U). The program provided essential guidance to individuals and families interested in learning about the sponsorship process and those eager to welcome and assist families seeking refuge from the ongoing war in Ukraine.

The project successfully concluded in October 2023.
