The Platinum Seal reflects our commitment to full openness with our donors and partners. It means we publicly share not only our finances and governance, but also the metrics that matter most: the results of our work.

In 2025, Leleka Foundation fulfilled 81% of all requests from frontline medics — up from 61% in 2024 — while maintaining a 94.4% program expense ratio. Only since the full-scale Russian invasion in February 2022, we have delivered over $16 million in life-saving medical aid to Ukraine.

Every tourniquet, every medical backpack we send exists because donors trust us. The Platinum Seal is independent confirmation that this trust is well placed.
