Assistance to the families of those who died in the Maidan

From the first day of the Maidan the Foundation of the Pryirpinnya community, headed by Anastasia Popsuy, provided material and organizational support to the protesters.After the bloody events in the Maidan and the death of the Heavenhundred,a number of civil and charitable organizations were united to help the victims. Among the organizations were: Ukrainian Philanthropists Forum, EuroMaidan SOS, the Partnership «For every child», «Renaissance» Foundation, DarynaZholdak Foundation, Caritas-Ukraine, Community Foundation of Pryirpinnya and others.

On a volunteer basis like-minded people created a Help Center for the families of dead and wounded people of the Maidan, which included several charitable foundations, private initiatives, lawyers and audit companies. The Pryirpinnya County Community Foundation was chosen as a partner organization and was given technical and legal responsibility for the implementation of the charity program. All decisions on collection, distribution and control of funds were taken by the Supervisory Board of the Initiative («Rodina Maidan»).An Expert Council was also set up, which included representatives of the families of the dead and wounded, representatives of the Maidan's medical services, ministry staff, auditors from Ernst & Young and PricewaterhouseCoopers,journalists (among them was the chief editor of Channel 5, who conducted a fundraising marathon). It was the Expert Council that approved the allocation of 20% of the funds collected for the treatment of those who were seriously wounded in the Maidan and decided not to provide financial support to the families of MIA representatives.

After the telethon on channel 5, volunteers collected more than 50,000,000 UAH to the account of the Pryirpinnya Society charity fund. The money wasn't immediately divided,because the lists of the Heaven Hundred were constantly changing. Therefore, the operational expenses of the families of the victims were taken over by the funds of RinatAkhmetov and Leonid Chernovetsky, and the Fund's money began to be distributed after the lists had been refined and the needs of each affected family had been assessed.

17% of the collected funds in the form of taxes was paid to the state. Although the Ukrainian philanthropic forum, together with Ernst & Young, tried to lobby for changesin the Tax Code of Ukraine to free charitable payments to individuals from income tax in the case of paying the families of the dead and treating the wounded activists of the Maidan.

Delayed payments caused discontent among individual activists. The latter of which were supported by several regional MPs.The HUBOZ received the statement to verify the status of the Fund's accounts.Volunteers began to be pressed with demands to give money to centurion, funeral bureaus, activists.Peoplewho demanded this, even came to volunteers with automatic arms.Philanthropists had to record a video message to the Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk with a request to protect them from such pressure.

Today, the action to help the families of those killed in the Maidan is the largest charitable event in the history of independent Ukraine.104 families received funds, 7 seriously injured Maidan protesterswere paid treatment abroad.Four inspections by the international audit company Ernst &Young and the General Prosecutor's Office of Ukraine showed the transparency and legitimacy of the distribution of the collected charitable funds among the members of the families of those who diedin the Maidan.

Later, AnastasiyaPopsuy and the Pryirpinnya Community Foundation filed a lawsuit to protect their honor and dignity against people's deputies who expressed their distrust without explicit grounds. .
