CMA volunteers checking an aid shipment manifest

Five programs. Twelve initiatives.

Emergency supplies save a life today. Training, education, research, and direct family support keep that possible tomorrow.

Mission Statement

Cleveland Maidan Association is a medical humanitarian nonprofit dedicated to saving lives, strengthening healthcare, and supporting communities affected by war in Ukraine through medical aid, education, training, and humanitarian assistance.

2023 – 2026

What your support actually funds.

Every program below is volunteer-run and measured by what arrives on the other end — containers unpacked, medics graduated, surgeries performed, families paid. The twelve numbered initiatives are drawn from CMA's 2026 impact program, Building Ukraine's Medical Future.
