* Romanian United Foundation's Fundraising Platform is 100% pass-through. Every dollar raised through our platform goes to support our partners and our projects. How is RUF funded?
We believe in a world full of genuine and passionate people that care about Romania. We believe in a world where friends, communities, change-makers, and organizations come together to make the world a better place. We believe that our kids will one day live in a strong, connected, impactful Romanian Diaspora. We believe in Changing the World, One Romanian at a Time.
RUF is a 100% pass-through fundraising platform. We help diaspora & local nonprofits in Romania access the funding, tools, training, and support they need to become more effective. We do this by connecting NGOs, donors & volunteers from all over the world. Learn more about our mission, or donate today.
Via Transilvanica, a majestic 1400 km hiking trail crossing Romania from north to south, is the first and only project that we have identified that has the potential to unite the Romanian Diaspora and become a genuine country brand. We believe in Via Transilvanica.
Romanian United Fund is dedicated to Six Areas of focus, amplifying our collective strength to solve the problems that Romania and Romanians are struggling with today.
“Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”
Yes, we are shooting for the moon. We want to be the Tesla or the Apple of the Romanian Diaspora: ground-breaking, cutting edge, avant-garde! A 21st-century, technology-backed umbrella organization, rooted in strong partnerships, personal friendships, and trust.
But the you know what? The most important thing about Apple and Tesla is that people who love them never leave. We want to be that special to you. Have we convinced you yet?
