Funds accumulated
Thank you for your current and future support!
Karazin University is super-tough conditions. Kharkiv has been extremely affected by the war. Since its beginning, 25% of the University’s premises have been destroyed. Not all the students could return to classes: some found themselves on the temporarily occupied territories, some decided to put their education on halt, some left Ukraine for good. But almost 85% of the students continue their studies online from all over the world overcoming difficulties and barriers. They remain with the University, they already are part of the University’s history!
To facilitate the protection of scientific, educational and spiritual achievements of Karazin University, to preserve Ukraine’s intellectual potential and to make its victory over the Russian aggressor closer.
Greetings to all the people who care about the fate of Karazin University!
Karazin University, a symbol of the hero city of Kharkiv, a world-recognized Ukrainian university brand, a center of education, science and enlightenment, has been living and working under constant shelling since the first days of the war. Destroyed buildings, windows broken by explosions, damaged scientific and educational equipment... All this echoes with pain in the hearts of Karazin residents, for whom the alma mater is a part of personal and common history that unites us all in one big family.
Karazin University is not just buildings, but incredible people who are its indestructible foundation. Teachers, scientists, workers, students and graduate students, whose activity is the University. People who also need support in the dramatic realities of war.
We do our best to preserve the university and its community. But we are already thinking about the future, about recovery and development, because we understand that the post-war revival of Kharkiv and Ukraine will begin precisely from schools and universities, from the life space of Ukrainian youth. Your charitable help and support is your investment in the future, your donations and good deeds are a contribution to the restoration and development of the university, which will be useful for the new, post-war Ukraine.
Join the great history of Karazin University!Karazin University — with the future in mind, with Ukraine in its heart!

A new monument now stands on the grave of the brave defender, a graduate of the Karazin University, Myroslav Mysla!
The Hero's grave was destroyed by the enemy during the occupation of the Volokhov Yar of the Balaklia community. This act of vandalism is a testimony to the indomitable will of our hero and his important contribution to the defense of our land.
With the support of the Charitable Foundation of the Karazin University and the help of many caring people, it was possible to restore the monument. Therefore, we would like to sincerely thank everyone who participated in the fundraising. This initiative is an example of uniting around common values and memory of heroic deeds.
May the new monument to Myroslav Mysla always remind us of his courage, devotion and significant contribution to the history of the Motherland!
