2. To maximize operational efficiency and impact, the Ukrainian Refugee Foundation (URF) partners with select nonprofit organizations in the EU and Ukraine that share its humanitarian mission. These organizations are often better positioned to carry out certain activities locally. URF enters into Memoranda of Cooperation with each partner, allowing for the transfer of unrestricted funds when appropriate. Unless specified otherwise, such transfers may be used by the partner for general charitable purposes, provided their activities remain consistent with URFs 501(c)(3) status and the terms of the Memorandum.
