Razom maintains a relentless focus on the needs on the ground in Ukraine and on the opportunities to amplify voices from Ukraine in conversations in the United States. Razom was formed solely for charitable purposes and is a non-partisan organization. Razom Emergency Response. We restarted our Emergency Response work to address shortages in supplies and information about COVID-19 in Ukraine and in New York. Once the second wave hit Ukraine in the winter and spring of 2021, Razom helped by funding the purchase of 32 oxygen concentrators through local organizations in eight different regions of Ukraine. This essential equipment helped Covid-19 patients as they waited for hospital admittance or when they were discharged to convalesce at home. Razom also hosted webinars about the pandemic, including a March 2021 panel with a medical researcher and immunologist explaining how vaccines work and answering questions from participants. 12320 X 13747 Razom Culture. Razom co-hosted the second annual Ukrainian Contemporary Music Festival in New York City in March 2021. The aim of the festival, which is open to the public and held in English, is to showcase Ukraine's complex and unique contributions to contemporary music through musical performances and discussions with music scholars, performers, and composers. At the end of 2021, Razom supported the first Ukrainian movie to ever be selected for the World Cinema Dramatic Competition at the Sundance Film Festival. Writer and director Maryna Er Gorbach's movie, "Klondike," tells the story of a family living in the war zone in eastern Ukraine at the time that Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17) was shot down. Razom provided funds for the team's travel to the U.S. to attend the festival. Due to the surge of the Covid-19 Omicron variant in January, the Sundance Festival went all virtual. Razom reallocated the funds from travel to promoting the participation of the filmmakers in the online festival. The Razom Book Club is a group of engaged readers who read Ukrainian literature and works about Ukraine and support Ukrainian authors. In 2021, the club had an active year meeting monthly and sometimes even more. In 2021, the club read 13 books and was able to meet with the authors of five of those books including Volodymyr Rafeyenko, Vasyl Makhno, Artem Chapay, Olena Stiazhkina, and Oleksiy Nikitin. Club members loved Volodymyr Rafeyenko's book "Mondegreen: Songs about Death and Love" so much that they partnered with The Ukrainian Research Institute at Harvard University (HURI) publications' arm to raise money for the book's translation into English. The book is forthcoming in the Harvard University Ukrainian Literary Series. 0 62516 Veterans Education. Razom saw significant growth in 2021 with its Veteranius project that first launched in 2020. The initiative helps Ukrainian veterans, volunteers, and internally displaced persons master programming skills and then get a job in the Ukrainian IT industry. During 2021, the program received a record number of applications and 43 IT mentors and 28 volunteers - who provided support for English language study, IT help, and psychological support - worked on the project. Since its inception, the project has helped 80 veterans gain employment. 11100 X 12315 Razom Partners. Razom's partnership with Vakhtang Kipiani's Istorychna Pravda continued in 2021. Since Mr. Kipiani is also an avid bird-watcher, we hosted a walking tour of Central Park so people could meet him, learn about New York wildlife and Ukrainian history. Razom also supported the initiative of our partner Serhiy Zhadan Foundation, "Chytai-Pyshy", which encourages reading and literary conversation among Ukrainian school children. 4000 X 6334 Other activities in 2021 included: Razom Toy Drive (which provides school supplies and toys for children in need), Razom Ticket (which supported Ukrainian team's participation in the International Astronomy Olympiads), Razom Think (which organized meetings with experts and scholars on the topics of human rights, media and free speech, and nuclear safety), and Razom Community (which connected Razom volunteers through an online Annual Meeting and other events). 10000 X 10307 The Co-Pilot Project, an initiative that focuses on the deficit of high-quality neurosurgical and spine surgery 0 training in Ukraine, continued its work in 2021 and had one formal trip led by Mariya Soroka and Dr. Luke Tomycz. During this trip, several epilepsy and brain tumor surgeries were performed with surgical partners in both Kyiv and Lutsk. We also traveled to Uzhgorod where we had a busy day of consultation with the local epilepsy team on various complex epilepsy patients who came from all around the country. 0 6296 111515 Theodora Chomiak Director and President 20 0 0 0 Lyuba Shipovich Director and Vice President 20.00 0 0 0 Oksana Falenchuk Director and Treasurer 15.00 0 0 0 Mariya Soroka Director 10 0 0 0 Maryna Prykhodko Director 10 0 0 0 Anastasia Rab Director and Secretary 10.00 0 0 0 Maria Genkin Director 10 0 0 0 Dmitri Zakhalyavko Director 10 0 0 0 Olya Yarychkivska Director 10 0 0 0 X 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NJ NY Razom Inc 140 2nd Ave Ste 305 New York NY 10003 6464499750 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 155596 125885 116182 238448 174155 810266 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 155596 125885 116182 238448 174155 810266 810266 1272 1566 3081 4151 2894 12964 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 823230 0.98425 0.98491 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 10 Razom grant recipients: Razom dlia Ukrainy $25,850, Patients of Ukraine $5,370, Serhiy Zhadan Charitable Foundation $4,000, Heart for Children of Ukraine $2,200 Form 990-EZ, Part I, Line 16 Description;Amount^Supplies and Materials;13472|Information Technology;9498|Travel;2915|Other;4250^Total;30135^ Form 990-EZ, Part II, Line 26 Description;EOY Amount^Credit Card;54^Total;54^ Form 990-EZ, Part V, Line 34 On 3/17/2021 Razom, Inc.
