89% of public organizations didn’t file their annual financial report for 2024. Updated
Which regions sent the fewest reports?
18 June 2025
92,189 public organizations and 23,382 charity organizations did not submit their financial reports for 2024, according to the State Statistics Service of Ukraine. This trend started even before the full-scale war. Among regions not under occupation or active fighting, Kyiv and Chernivtsi regions have the highest number of organizations that failed to report.
89% (around 92,000) of public organizations (PO) in Ukraine didn’t submit their financial reports for 2024. That’s 2,225 more than the year before. From 2021 to 2023, this number was slowly going down, so the 2024 increase may be just a small fluctuation.
A similar trend is seen among charities (CO). In 2024, 965 more charity foundations failed to report—up 4% from the year before. 77% of all charities (around 23,000) didn’t submit their financial reports.
This reporting issue didn’t start with the full-scale war. In fact, it seems to be a long-standing habit. Back in 2021, before the war, 97% of public organizations and 94% of charities didn’t submit reports, even though it’s required by law. So, ironically, the number of non-transparent organizations has slightly decreased during the war.

UPD. After the publication of the article, the editorial office was contacted by the Plast Endowment in Ukraine, which had made an error in its financial reporting. After the data was clarified, this NGO dropped out of the top list.
The “Come Back Alive” Foundation is the largest charitable organization in Ukraine among those that reported their income. Despite the scale of resources required to maintain operations at this level, the foundation emphasizes that it is driven not by bureaucracy but by a commitment to transparency with the state, partners, and donors. They actively share more data than is legally required, aiming to build trust through openness and integrity.
«“Come Back Alive” aims to support and grow public trust in charitable work in Ukraine. The foundation ensures access to information about its activities, runs unique projects that often require strong accounting and legal support, and works to strengthen Ukraine’s defense and mobilization readiness and protect its people.
Maintaining proper accounting and financial reporting is a constant and essential task for a charity. We work with a long-term strategy, and our open reporting on the website helps improve the results of our work and partnerships by reducing risks that may arise when access to important information is limited»,
— said Lesia Melnyk, the foundation’s Chief Financial Officer.
