Fundraising Campaign for Galati & Vaslui
Devastating floods wreaked havoc in eastern Romania, displacing hundreds of families in the communities of Vaslui and Galați. Families lost their homes, and children lost their schools. To support recovery efforts, we’re partnering with Habitat for Humanity Romania, the Romanian Embassy in the U.S. and several local nonprofits - who are already on the ground, ready to help these communities recover.
Donor Recognition Event - Angels Soiree 2024
We are thrilled to announce the Angels Soirée in celebration of the six-year anniversary of the Romanian United Foundation! This exclusive black-tie optional event, taking place on Friday, December 6, 2024, at 7PM at the Union League Club, Chicago, will bring together our community of change-makers for an elegant evening of inspiration, reflection, and celebration. We will honor the incredible contributions of our Angels 😇 with a special tribute, while enjoying a night filled with gratitude, entertainment, and a shared vision for a brighter future.

Introducing GlobalRomania
GlobalRomania is a cornerstone of Romanian United Foundation’s five-year vision to create a vetted global network of the Romanian diaspora. Through this initiative, we are connecting 300 diaspora communities, 500 universities, and 1,000 corporations, establishing a dynamic infrastructure that empowers Romanians worldwide. We started in 2023 with mapping and connecting Romanian communities worldwide. This year we launched the work for uniting Romanian healthcare professionals globally under GlobalRomania Health.
Join us in building GlobalRomania as the most powerful network of Romanians in the diaspora. Imagine a place where every 'Bună ziua!' opens a door to endless possibilities. A place of action where people connect based on passions, interests, and projects.

Behind The Scenes at RUF
Meet our youngest RUF family member, Maria, the daughter of Romina - our office manager. This week, we are celebrating Romina's one-year anniversary at RUF. 🎉🎉🎉 We want to take this opportunity to congratulate Romina and to wish baby Maria a lifetime of health, happiness, and success.
A Week to Remember: Noțig Camp 2024
The Notig Camp (organized by the ARHAIC Association and the Romanian United Foundation) took place in July - and what a unique experience it has been. From working to restore historic buildings to learning to bake traditional bread, cook local food, and help with agricultural activities, this immersive cultural camp gave young Romanians living abroad the opportunity to connect with their ancestral culture.
