about us

We advocate accountability, integrity, efficiency, and transparency of Ukraine's central and local government representatives, as well as businesses.
We are convinced that fighting against corrupt people is as important as fighting external enemies because corruption and bureaucracy kill by stealing from the frontline.
We aim to unite all conscious and proactive Ukrainians worldwide around honest principles and values.
We are the first anti-corruption organization in Ukraine to display 100% of our funding transparently in real-time and to have representatives in almost all regions of Ukraine.

principles

person and freedom

The principal value of the state is a person, and the principal value of a person is freedom. All Ukrainians deserve to live in a country free of corruption. 

rule of law

Members uphold the principles of the rule of law and equality of all before the law. Ukrainians demand that the justice system also follows this principle.

zero tolerance TO corruption

All Ukrainians should have zero tolerance to corruption in all its forms.

small government

The smaller the sphere of influence of the official and the state, the fewer opportunities for corruption. Giving officials discretion to decide issues is one of the leading causes of corruption and should be abolished by changing legislation.

competence

The members commit to develop their expertise, competence, professionalism, and knowledge to help them implement the purpose of the Organization.

no conflict of interest

Members must not use their membership and affiliation with the Organization for private or political purposes and interests. 

independence

Our ethos is to be an Organization for Ukraine and funded by Ukrainians with transparent financial reporting in real-time. Any projects with foreign funding will be openly reported but funding will not be connected with the sustainable budget of the Organization.

radical transparency

The Organization commits to implement transparency, openness, and accountability in all activities, promoting and encouraging integrity and active civil societal participation. Honesty, decency, transparency, and accountability must be the foundations of the members' activities.

private property

Our Organization seeks to protect private property and legal individual rights from abuse by those with criminal intentions.

    There are dozens of active military personnel among our associate members, founders, board members, and heads of separate units. If you can devote at least 3-5 hours a week to the fight against corruption, choose Associate Membership. If you do not have such an opportunity now but still want to support our activities, choose Financial Support for an amount that is comfortable for you.

  • Why are we not a political party?

    We are a non-government organization and not a political party, as we strive to have a greater influence on changes in society and the state than all 400 registered political parties in Ukraine combined. Real change starts with changing our mindset, and that's what we're working on. Also, one of our tasks is to monitor politicians and political parties so that we do not support any political party and are independent.
