Governance

This organization files the short tax form, which does not ask about boards, policies or audits. That is normal for a small charity and is not a mark against it.

Impact evidence

Describes programs. Its tax return describes what it does but we have found no measurable results in it.

Programs described in its return (5)
  1. $2,454 spent. In 2025, we expanded our educational programs and strengthened tccc.org.ua - now the leading online resource for tactical medics in Ukraine. We added new sections, including the video course on tactical medicine for all service members (ASM) and updated Ukrainian regulatory documents. The platform now serves more than 2,000 users daily, and our mobile app has been downloaded over 100,000 times, providing frontline medical personnel with reliable, high-quality training materials when they need them most.
  2. $1,212 spent. This year, we also published the manual Advanced Surgical Skills for Exposure in Trauma (ASSET) and provide it free of charge to surgeons participating in ASSET training. A key focus of our work is enabling Ukrainian physicians to train in leading U.S. hospitals. For this project AUMF secured a grant of $46,479 from The Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine, Inc.
  3. In May 2025, we supported a Ukrainian orthopedic surgeon in completing a four-week observership at Grace Surgical Hospital in Lubbock, Texas, where he studied minimally invasive spine surgery and modern patient-care protocols to bring back to Ukraine.
  4. In 2025, we also represented Ukraine and our initiatives at two major international events. At the Combat Medical Care Conference in Germany (July), our booth became a platform for professional exchange and new partnerships. At the Heal Ukraine Conference in Boston (November), we presented our results and discussed further cooperation with U.S. partners.
  5. $1,212 spent. In cooperation with the publishing house Nash Format, Kyiv, Ukraine, we translated, supported pre-printing and print of the Pre-hospital trauma Life Support book.
