The Foundation for Support of Reforms in Ukraine (FSR) is a non-governmental organisation that helps state institutions to implement reforms, innovate and strengthen Ukraine's resilience in the extremely difficult conditions of war.
In 2024, the Foundation continued to scale its impact in the areas of defence, economy, culture, education and institutional support, acting at the intersection of state demand, public needs and international support.
The main areas of the Foundation's activities in 2024:

the support of the UK government. - Assistance in defence procurement reform, launch of the DOT Chain digital system.
