Based in Buffalo, NY, the Ukrainian American Freedom Foundation is a community-centered nonprofit organization rooted in the values of cultural preservation and democratic principles. Founded to honor and maintain Ukrainian heritage within the broader western New York community, the organization operates the Ukrainian Cultural Center "Dnipro," which stands as a cherished landmark and gathering place for people of all backgrounds. The foundation's mission reflects a deep commitment to keeping Ukrainian language, culture, and history alive while strengthening the bonds between American and Ukrainian communities. What sets the Ukrainian American Freedom Foundation apart is its dual focus on cultural stewardship and civic values—working simultaneously to celebrate Ukrainian traditions and to advance liberty, democracy, and the rule of law both locally and internationally. The organization recognizes that cultural centers serve as vital bridges connecting diverse populations, and the Dnipro Center embodies this philosophy by welcoming all residents of western New York to experience and appreciate Ukrainian contributions to American life. Through cultural exchanges, educational programs, and community events, the foundation builds meaningful relationships and mutual understanding between Americans and Ukrainians, enriching the social fabric of Buffalo while supporting democratic aspirations across the former Soviet region.
