In addition to coordinating with the International Pediatric Association, the AAP has identified the following opportunities to donate to organizations that can help support our colleagues in Ukraine and in those countries caring for the refugees:

  • American Academy of Pediatrics Disaster Recovery Fund. Go hereand select “Disaster Recovery” when making your gift.
