Among the largest donors of humanitarian aid, the following institutes should be mentioned:

• The Institute for German Culture and History of Southeastern Europe (Germany) and its director, Florian Kührer-Wielach, who initiated the collection of charitable contributions for the purchase of humanitarian aid and attracted about 300,000 euros, which was the lion's share of all humanitarian aid that reached our university;

• Stefan cel Mare University of Suceava;
• Public organization JUH (Johanniter-Unfall-Hilfe) (Germany);
• Society Radivci (Romania);

There are rare cases when teachers from European universities showed a private initiative to provide humanitarian aid to the Ukrainian people through Chernivtsi University.

• teachers, employees and students are actively involved in collecting and sorting clothes and household items for IDPs, unloading and sorting other humanitarian aid at most volunteer points in Chernivtsi;
• the collection of materials for the manufacture of trench candles was carried out, which is also a sought-after attribute at the front;

There is systematic support for employees, their relatives and students of the university who are in defence of the independence of Ukraine. The volunteer staff of the university, thanks to the efforts of the International Office of the university and the Center for German-language studies Gedankendah, carry out individual equipment of a military serviceman, form and send packages with food products, individual hygiene products, medicines, etc.
