Now - life, from October 1 - garbage!

"Now is life, from October 1 - garbage!" - this is the slogan of our new campaign to save little lives. The National Bank of Ukraine is withdrawing old-style kopecks and iron hryvnias from circulation, and this is a good opportunity to take out the piggy banks and make room for our children.

Until October 1, 2022, old coins can be exchanged at the National Bank, and the proceeds will be used to help children with cancer.

What kind of pennies do we accept?

1. We accept 1, 2, 5 kopecks, which will become invalid as of October 1. They can be exchanged only at the National Bank until October 1, 2022, or you can bring them to us and we will exchange them ourselves.
2. 25 kopecks, which will be withdrawn from circulation on October 1, also participate in the campaign. They can be exchanged or credited to an account at any bank branch for a year and for another two years at the National Bank and its authorized institutions.
3. You can also donate coins and banknotes from other countries that you would like to use to help children with cancer. This includes euro coins.
4. 10 kopecks are not withdrawn from circulation, but we also accept them if you want to give them to us.

How can you collect coins to help the wards of the Zaporuka Charitable Foundation?

1. Leave your address and contact in the form:  https://forms.gle/ZnypDBs3uyfZFFQK9 .

This way we will understand how to better organize the collection, optimize the route if our driver picks up the coins, or contact you with each other.

1. If you have a vehicle and inspiration, help us with the delivery of the boxes.

We are located in the private sector at 68 Kamenyariv Street. This is in the Sovki district (near Lobanovsky Avenue on one side and Vasylkivska metro station on the other). Contact phone number for arrangements: 050 410 4484 (Iryna Sakhno).

1. You can bring the coins to the bank yourself. Please note that 1.2.5 kopecks can only be exchanged or credited to an account at bank branches until September 30, and 25 kopecks can be exchanged or credited throughout the year. Credit your kopecks to the fund's account Details here: https://zaporuka.org.ua/dopomohti/#fund_bank_details

Can I send it by Nova Poshta?

The coins are quite heavy, and we don't recommend doing this, as they can be deposited in a bank and credited to our account. If that still doesn't stop you, here's an option to send them by mail:

Kyiv, Nova Poshta, branch No. 10, recipient: Zaporuka Charitable Foundation (the recipient is the foundation, please specify this operator), 067 716 93 62. Delivery fee is at the sender's expense.

 Is it possible to do this in Lviv?

Yes, but in Lviv we cannot pick up your treasures physically, there is only one possibility - to deliver them to our office by yourself: 15 Ivan Franko Street. Contact: Maryana Nych 050 4301291

You can also bring coins to our partners  Information and educational volunteer project "SunLions" at 4 Danyla Halytskoho Square. You can agree with Ms. Svetlana Lokotkova

What date should I collect coins?

You set the timeframe for collecting coins yourself: a month or two weeks. You can even repeat the campaign in six months.

As mentioned above, coins that are out of circulation can be handed in to NBU branches or authorized banks for another two years.

"I registered, but I was not contacted"

Dear friends, we will start writing to you and collecting coins on October 1. If you left your details in the form above, we remember each of you and are already working on conveniently organized logistics.

Join us! Give your coins one last chance to do good!
