Transparency of all income and expenses is the key of our fund
All the foundation’s income and expenses are publicly available: every donation, purchase, and issuance of equipment is displayed in an open automated reporting system.
Data updates in real time so every donor can see how their contribution turns into real help — drones, communications, and life-saving equipment.

“Dzyga’s Paw” is an exceptionally professional organization and very easy to work with. We have already run three joint campaigns together, raising over $250,000, and we plan to continue our collaboration.
The team has deep connections with military units in Ukraine and communicates directly with command to accurately understand real needs and deliver quickly. Their transparency also deserves special recognition: every campaign includes photos, videos, and a detailed report, and the website maintains a complete record of all expenses since the foundation was established.
If you are looking for a foundation that uses donations as efficiently as possible and provides full transparency, Dzyga’s Paw is a trustworthy choice.

Over nearly four years of your support for me and my unit, I have come to see a deeper meaning in the name of your foundation.
The name “Dzyga’s Paw” and your tireless assistance created a certain association for me. In my mind, you are like the paw that sets a spinning top in motion — the very toy your dog is named after. That spinning top feels like our army: and thanks to you, it keeps spinning, maintaining its balance and staying upright.
Thank you for continuing to provide the energy that helps us keep our balance.

My experience working alongside Dzyga’s Paw has been like working alongside dear friends, though by relative standards we have only recently met, such is the commitment and depth of character displayed by the team. Each individual plays a crucial role and serves with a bold heart for the individual and the nation, which has won the respect of my patriotic American soul. The team is transparent, solid, and supported by all the fervor and passion of youth which charitable foundations – geriatric as they tend to be – so often miss. My respect and gratitude for this team lies not simply within the confines of a shared mission- that being the liberation of Ukraine; it is a hard-won collective task that they have willingly undertaken with me in order to build trust and cooperation, and that in itself is truly unique.

“Dzyga’s Paw” is a unique charitable foundation that combines a modern technological approach, bold thinking, and sincere dedication to Ukraine in order to support the Defense Forces.
Their high level of professionalism is reflected in transparent operations, a precise understanding of soldiers’ needs, and the efficient delivery of modern, life-saving equipment.
Every time I meet with my friends from Dzyga’s Paw, I’m reminded that these are people building the future — a better future for Ukraine and the world — through the daily work of developing and strengthening the foundation.
Let’s support Dzyga’s Paw.

My experience working with Dzyga’s Paw is an example of systematic and responsible support for the military. The foundation provides us with drones, equipment, transport, and everything necessary for the effective work of pilots. This is not one-time assistance, but continuous, well-thought-out support that truly impacts results on the battlefield. They listen, analyze, and help with exactly what is needed here and now.
Behind this work are not just reports and numbers, but real people and real results. In the most difficult moments, Dzyga’s Paw stood by us — when drones, equipment, and support were urgently needed, the foundation did not disappear or postpone help “for later.” I have seen how this support saves time, resources, and lives. The combination of humanity, professionalism, and a systematic approach inspires complete trust.

We trust and donate to many Ukrainian charities, but when friends from abroad ask for a recommendation, it’s always Dzyga’s Paw. Since 2022 we donated to their various projects involving Starlinks, drones, and other tech equipment for the frontline units. Their projects support real soldiers, and you can see the results of your donations having a direct impact on the battlefield. Also their transparency is top-notch: you can literally track every donation and expense live on their website. And the team is great to communicate and hang out with!
Our Story
At the start of the full-scale invasion in February 2022, Dimko Zhluktenko, a Ukrainian IT manager, left his career to help the army.
He began supporting his friends at the front by mobilizing an online community on Twitter. Later, with his wife Iryna, they created the Dzyga’s Paw charity foundation, named after their dog who was always with them.
From a small initiative grew an international foundation that supplies the Ukrainian Defense Forces with modern technologies — from drones and communications to autonomous power systems. In three years, Dzyga’s Paw, founded in Lviv, has raised over $5M, supported dozens of units, and united donors from more than 70 countries.
