To whom it may concern:

My name is [organizational staff member name]. I am [position/title] at [organization name], a 501(c)(3) organization which is based in [location; also specify if there is an office local to where the parolee(s) will be relocated in the United States] and [what the organization does/basic mission statement]. I am writing this letter regarding [name of U.S. sponsor]’s I-134 affidavit of support to sponsor [beneficiary name and A-number] for humanitarian parole to the United States through the Uniting for Ukraine program.

If [beneficiary] is granted permission to enter the United States, our organization will be able to support [him/her/them] upon [their] arrival here until the end of [their] parole period of two years, and help ensure a smooth transition for [them] as [they] acclimate to life in the United States.

If [beneficiary] enters through the Uniting for Ukraine program, [they] will be able to access many benefits typically provided to refugees through the Office of Refugee Resettlement, which have been made available to Uniting for Ukraine beneficiaries through a recent act of Congress. In addition to those benefits, [organization name] can ensure that [beneficiary] has sufficient means of support throughout [their] parole period.

Our organizational budget for the [current or upcoming] fiscal year is [$xx USD].

  • [Can also note any organizational assets beyond the budget.]
  • [Can specify a certain dollar amount set aside as available to support this beneficiary in particular.]
  • [Note any appended documentation, such as the organization’s bank statements or public tax documents.]

[If your organization offers relevant services or assistance – e.g. assistance finding employment, ESL courses, integration support, assistance obtaining public benefits, etc. – you can also note that here.]
