About us

The Sternenko Community Foundation is a logical continuation of our volunteer efforts. For years, our community has been raising billions of hryvnias to supply Ukraine’s frontline with FPV drones, naval drones, and other essential equipment.

As the scale of support expanded, we realized the need for a more structured and efficient approach. That’s why we created the foundation — to mobilize additional resources, build lasting partnerships, and respond faster to the needs of our defenders. Since then, our impact has only grown.

No. Every donation made for the army goes directly to the frontlines and gets converted into FPV drones and other equipment urgently needed by the Defense Forces. We don't use donations intended for our defenders to cover our salaries or office costs. 

Our operational needs are covered separately through dedicated contributions from partners and private donors.

If you'd like to support our ongoing work, you can support our current operations here.

We love hearing from people who want to help. While we don’t have an open volunteer program, we’re always open to meaningful collaboration. However, if you have unique skills that can significantly strengthen our work — whether it’s logistics, tech, communications, or anything else — we’d love to hear from you. Reach out to us at appeal@sternenkofund.org

We believe in full transparency. Every day, we publish updates from units that receive our drones, including photo and video reports, including footage of drone strikes, so you can see your support in action.

We also release detailed monthly reports where every purchase and delivery is included. You can find all of them on our website and social media.

Visit the reports section on our website to see how every donation helps destroy enemy targets and save Ukrainian lives.

We supply frontline military units with FPV drones — highly effective means for eliminating enemy equipment, personnel, and even russian drones and UAVs. We also assist selected units with gear for special operations at sea and behind enemy lines.

Not at this time. Currently, we focus exclusively on supporting the Ukrainian Defense Forces with FPV drones and equipment.In the future, we may expand our mission, but for now, our defenders remain our top priority.

Yes — but there are important conditions.
We do provide drones without formal paperwork from military units, but only when we’re confident the unit truly needs them, knows how to use them, and will use them effectively.

We also require sufficient reports.
Units that receive drones must confirm delivery and demonstrate their use. If a unit does not report, we won’t continue providing support. This helps to ensure transparency, efficient use of resources, and the maximum possible impact on the battlefield.

You can submit a request by emailing us at apply@sternenkofund.org.

Please include the following information:

1. Call sign, rank, unit, brigade
2. Location/region where your unit is currently operating
3. How long you’ve been working with FPV drones
4. Whether you require drones to strike ground or aerial targets
5. If any neighboring units are already working with our Foundation
6. Your name and a phone number we can use to contact you via Signal

Usually, we respond quickly — within minutes or a few hours.War doesn’t take days off, and neither do we. We do everything we can to get drones to the frontline as fast as possible. We’ll handle all the logistics so you can focus on what matters the most — defeating the enemy and protecting our people.
