Local SEO for Ukraine
Donation protected
Dear BrightLocal customers, friends, and everyone in the local SEO community.
The battle for survival is now a daily routine in eastern Ukraine, and the need for medical and humanitarian supplies is greater than ever before.
Some of you will know that a big part of the BrightLocal family is based in Ukraine. We have 38 Ukrainian team members who, until the start of the war, lived and worked peacefully in their home cities of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Zaporizhzhia, and Lviv.
Since February 24th, nearly every one of them has been forced to leave their homes and communities behind and seek refuge elsewhere. Three of our team have been called up for military service—their bravery is humbling, and our thoughts are constantly with them.
Many of our team members volunteer each day to raise funds, organise supplies, and deliver them to where they are most needed. We are incredibly proud of the contribution they're making and want to match it with a significant commitment of our own.
Since the start of the war, we have donated over US$80,000 (£65,000) to support Ukraine. The majority of these funds have gone to the major charities working there, and the rest has been donated straight to local volunteer groups who work directly with the most vulnerable in their communities and supply aid to the towns and cities most affected by the fighting.
We want to do more to get essential food, sanitation and medical supplies straight to where it’s needed. And we need your help to make this happen on a scale that makes a real difference.
Watch our CEO and Ukrainian team members explain why and how your money will be put to great use
#LocalSEOforUkraine
We have set ourselves the goal of raising $100,000 (GB£80,000) to buy essential humanitarian aid (food, medical, sanitation) and deliver it to those in the country's most affected areas.
We call on our friends, customers, and everyone connected to the local SEO community to join us in this initiative.
What your donations will buy:
£20 (US$25) will feed and support a family of four for 2 days
£40 (US$50) will feed and support a family of four for 4 days
£60 (US$75) will feed and support a family of four for 6 days
£80 (US$100) will feed and support a family of four for 8 days
We ask you to join us in raising these funds and be part of a collective action that has a real impact.
Doubling your impact: we'll match your donations, 1 for 1!
We (BrightLocal) have pledged to match every donation up to $50,000 (£40,000). So every dollar ($US) or pound (£GB) you donate, we'll match it so that you know your money is having double the impact.
How will the aid get to those in need?
Our Ukrainian team is already working directly with local volunteer groups to organise and distribute food, sanitation and medical aid to those in the most affected towns and cities across Ukraine.
We will use all the funds raised to buy more essential supplies and transport them from the UK, across Europe and directly to the volunteer warehouses in western Ukraine.
The transport vehicle(s) will be driven by BrightLocal team members, who will then hand over to members of our Ukraine team at the border for onward transport into Ukraine.
We will monitor and report on the progress of the aid as it makes its journey from the UK to Ukraine, so you can see exactly where your money is going and when it reaches those in need. We'll post regular updates on this Gofundme page, and you can also follow the campaign on Twitter using the hashtag #localseoforukraine.
