Have you seen "Support for Ukrainian Chess Players"?

Hello
 
 I just donated to this GoFundMe, https://gofund.me/4ebaf830.  Would you be interested in supporting it too?
 
 Even a small donation could help United States of America Chess Federation reach their fundraising goal. And if you can't make a donation, it would be great if you could share the fundraiser to help spread the word.
 
 Thanks for taking a look!

Razom for Ukraine, based in New York, is sending items like tourniquets, bandages, and satellite phones.

United Help Ukraine in Maryland is supplying money, food, and medical supplies.

Sunflower of Peace in Belmont, Mass., is sending first aid medical tactical backpacks to paramedics and doctors on the front lines.

Here are more details.

The Washington Post lists some more:

Voices of Children is based in Ukraine and has been serving the psychological needs of children affected by the war in the country’s east since 2015, and now is helping kids all over the country.

You've probably seen chef José Andrés, who has made it his mission to feed victims of disasters all over the world, on TV -- he's already in Europe, setting up his World Central Kitchens at the Ukrainian borders with Poland and Romania to feed the thousands of desperate refugees fleeing Putin's viciousness.

And if you're inclined to help Ukrainian journalists who are risking their lives to tell the truth in the midst of war, consider donating to the reporters of The Kyiv Independent who are doing a remarkable job. The paper started two GoFundMes: One for their own staff, and another for other  journalists around Ukraine.
