Atlas Festival, the Come Back Alive Foundation, and PrivatBank raised UAH 174,026,419 as part of this year’s “150% Fundraiser” campaign for the “Dronopad” project, aimed at supporting units that shoot down enemy drones in Ukrainian skies. The initial goal was UAH 150 million. The campaign exceeded this target thanks to a contribution from Perennial Autonomy.

This year’s fundraiser was exceptionally challenging. Constant enemy attacks, including strikes on businesses and warehouses, are exhausting the resources of companies that support the military. Businesses are forced to restore operations, take care of their employees, and at the same time find opportunities to help defenders. Under such conditions, exceeding the fundraising goal became the result of the long-term efforts of the team, partners, and donors.

The final contribution came from Perennial Autonomy: the company is providing 250 drones and five ground stations with a total value of UAH 44 million. This made it possible not only to cover the remaining amount needed to reach the goal but also to exceed the planned result by UAH 23 million.

The overall result includes both monetary donations and the value of equipment provided by manufacturers. Support for the Dronopad project also came from DK Nejet, which contributed 75 interceptor drones worth UAH 3 million; Wild Hornets, which provided 200 interceptor drones worth UAH 17.6 million; and SkyFall, which contributed 100 interceptor drones worth UAH 5.223 million.

In total, four manufacturers are providing 625 drones and five ground stations worth UAH 69.823 million. This amount is already included in the overall campaign result. The remainder consists of monetary contributions from partners and donors, which will be directed toward purchasing the equipment needed by the project’s units.

Atlas Festival thanks the Come Back Alive Foundation and PrivatBank for their joint efforts, as well as the socially responsible businesses that supported the campaign: Aurora, Prom, Uklon, Khapai, Carbid, VUSO, robota.ua, Tabletki.ua, Kreator-Bud, LUN, Nova Poshta, Podorozhnyk, Kiss My Apps, Maincast, MacPaw Foundation, BUKI, and Intellias. Their participation is especially valuable now, as Ukrainian businesses continue to provide support despite losses and ongoing uncertainty.

The organizers also thank every person who donated to and shared the fundraiser. Together with the support of partners, these contributions will help strengthen the protection of Ukraine’s skies.
