KMLX
We are musicians from Odesa, Ukraine, raising money at our concerts to support our country, our city, and our people.
KMLX is the Philanthropic Arm of the musical group Kommuna Lux. When war came to their country in 2022, these musicians soon realized they could do more good with their instruments than with guns. They began raising funds at their concerts in Europe, for charitable projects back home. This video shows some of the ways they spent their donations that year.
They decided to tour the United States in 2023, and were so successful that they founded this 501-c3 nonprofit for their future tours. We all welcome you to come to a concert--check our website to see if we'll be in your town!
With two US tours planned in 2024, the band felt like they could strive for something greater than the small, local projects they had always supported in the past. They soon found a willing partner in the Rotary E-Club of Ukraine, who had numerous projects in need of funds. The musicians decided to help supply a new type of hospital bed for victims of severe burns, to hospitals serving the front lines.
For every dollar donated to KMLX, 30% will go directly to this project. The Rotarians have identified at least 100 other requests for these beds. We hope to help every hospital in Ukraine!
The other 70% of your donation will continue to support our regular grassroots causes, such as food, water, and medicine to besieged cities, bomb shelters and other safety projects in our hometown of Odesa, and our direct support of the heroes at the front with gear, tools, and vehicles.
