    The Breakthrough Prize Foundation has committed more than $6 million to programs supporting Ukrainian scientists, including a U.S. National Academy of Sciences initiative to help
  displaced researchers continue their work; a program launched by an international coordinating group of scientific organizations to support the country’s scientific community; and an
  Australian Academy of Sciences initiative to assist Ukrainian scientists through collaborations and access to Australian infrastructure and facilities. More broadly, the foundation is
              funding the $100 million program Tech for Refugees to bring housing, deliveries and other assistance to refugees, focused especially on those fleeing Ukraine.
