I'm glad you found it helpful! It occurred to me that I might as well just paste the contents of the post here:

This Newsweek article lists several credible organizations collecting donations to aid Ukraine.

Yale professor Timothy Snyder, a historian of Central and Eastern Europe and the Holocaust, offerred these suggestions for credible organizations in Ukraine making good use of donations.

Also check out this list from Charity Navigator of credible and effective nonprofits engaging in relief efforts in Ukraine; the list is updated on an ongoing basis.

The New York Times has highlighted four particularly effective organizations here: Direct Relief, Mercy Corps, International Medical Corps, and Save the Children.

(This should go without saying, but be wary of donating to individuals or to organizations you don't know much about; there are reports of people unknowingly donating to far-right extremist organizations in Ukraine such as the Azov Battalion, as well as numerous individual scammers falsely claiming to be Ukrainians in need of assistance. If someone requesting donations claims to live in Ukraine, a PayPal account is a red flag, as you cannot receive money in a Ukrainian bank account via PayPal.)
