WHAT BLUECHECK EXPERIENCED AND UNCOVERED WAS A GAP IN EMERGENCY RESPONSE: LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS WERE PROVIDING THE BULK OF THE HUMANITARIAN AID AND TAKING IMMENSE RISKS TO REACH THE FRONTLINE COMMUNITIES UNDER SIEGE BUT WERE RECEIVING A FRACTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL HUMANITARIAN FUNDING AND WERE LARGELY CUT OUT OF GOVERNMENTAL AND MULTILATERAL FUNDING OPPORTUNITIES DUE TO HIGH LEVELS OF BUREAUCRACY. DESPITE AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF SUPPORT FROM PUBLIC AND PRIVATE SOURCES IN 2022 AND 2023, THE RESEARCH ORGANIZATION, HUMANITARIAN OUTCOMES, FOUND IN JUNE 2022 THAT THE LOCAL UKRAINIAN ORGANIZATIONS DELIVERING VIRTUALLY ALL OF THE HUMANITARIAN AID IN UKRAINE AT THAT TIME HAD RECEIVED ONLY 0.24% OF THE DIRECT DONATIONS TO UKRAINE - LESS THAN $6.5 MILLION. LOCAL UKRAINIAN ORGANIZATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS - NOT INTERNATIONAL AID ORGANIZATIONS - DELIVER A MAJORITY OF HUMANITARIAN AID IN THE COUNTRY, AND MEMBERS OF THOSE GROUPS CONTINUE TO SUFFER THE GREATEST RISKS AND CASUALTIES - AND YET, EVEN A YEAR LATER IN 2023 HUMANITARIAN OUTCOMES UPDATED RESEARCH SHOWS THESE GROUPS ARE NOT RECEIVING THE APPROPRIATE SHARE OF RESOURCES AND FUNDING.HOWEVER, WHEN PROVIDED WITH FLEXIBLE FUNDING, THESE LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS HAD THE CULTURAL UNDERSTANDING, NETWORKS, AND FLEXIBILITY TO MEET AND ADDRESS URGENT AND LIFE-THREATENING NEEDS. THESE ARE THE FRONT-LINE GROUPS THAT ARE UNIQUELY ABLE TO ACHIEVE SOLUTIONS FOR THEIR COMMUNITIES, BUT THEY ARE INSUFFICIENTLY RESOURCED THROUGH OUR CURRENT HUMANITARIAN SYSTEM.IN JANUARY 2023, BLUECHECK CHARITABLE FOUNDATION WAS ESTABLISHED AS A 501C3 TAX-EXEMPT, NON-PROFIT, NON-GOVERNMENTAL AGENCY. BLUECHECK NOW HAS THE POTENTIAL TO EXPAND THE MODEL OF BLUECHECK UKRAINE TO A GLOBAL SOLUTION FOR IDENTIFYING, VETTING, AND FAST-TRACKING FINANCIAL SUPPORT (WITH STREAMLINED AND LIGHT LIFT REPORTING REQUIREMENTS) TO LOCAL ORGANIZATIONS RESPONDING TO HUMANITARIAN AND NATURAL DISASTERS AROUND THE WORLD. 1639250 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 9 0 1 3 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 9 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 AL AR CA FL GA HI IL KS KY MD MA MI MN MS NH NJ NM NY NC OR PA RI SC TN UT WV WI X MURPHY POINDEXTER 9172747226 201 ALLEN STREET UNIT 10016 NEW YORK NY 10002 MURPHY POINDEXTER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 40.00 X X 191476 0 2777 JASON CONE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 LIEV SCHREIBER VICE PRESIDENT 1.00 X X 0 0 0 STEVEN SOLINSKY TREASURER 1.00 X X 0 0 0 MICHAEL GOLDFARB SECRETARY 1.00 X X 0 0 0 HARRIS FISHMAN BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 MARGRIT POLAK BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 NATALIE JARESKO BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 SOFIA SHIELD BOARD MEMBER 1.00 X 0 0 0 191476 0 2777 1 0 1 0 0 150308 1555802 1706110 2230 150308 5652 -3422 -3422 1702688 0 0 -3422 1082158 1082158 330507 330507 194253 135977 29138 29138 42360 29651 6764 5945 13427 9399 2043 1985 18380 12866 2789 2725 56083 56083 56568 56568 182916 38227 141682 3007 3621 3621 22679 22679 1862 465 1397 12505 12505 2017319 1639250 278701 99368 699075 390624 18956 12776 718031 403400 0 0 X 718031 403400 718031 403400 718031 403400 -314631 0 X 0 1 X 1 0 X 4102333 1706110 5808443 4102333 1706110 5808443 2071890 3736553 0 5808443 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 1708340 5652 5652 1702688 0 1702688 2022971 5652 5652 2017319 0 2017319 PART XI, LINE 2D - OTHER ADJUSTMENTS: SPECIAL EVENT EXPENSES REPORTED AS EXPENSE ON THE AUDITED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND NETTED AGAINST REVENUE ON FORM 990, PART VIII, LINE 8B 5,652.
