Areas of foundation activity – providing charitable assistance to social, educational, medical and cultural institutions, suffering from a lack of budget funding in solving those problems that pose a threat to human health and life, or violate human rights. Also, the organization helps the Ukrainian army and families of dead soldiers. The Foundation has huge grant activities in support of local initiatives of non-governmental organizations and civil initiative groups.

With the support of philanthropists, the Foundation implements quite resonant projects: installed a lifting platform for people with wheelchairs in the Kherson Regional Theater, with the help of which they overcome the staircase from the hall to the auditorium, and built a modern street ramp, making the theater accessible to all. It updated medical equipment in the regional Blood Service Center, ensuring the safety of donor blood and drugs from it, updated medical devices in the rehabilitation block of the maternity department of the regional hospital for the rescue of newborns. It replaced 268 old windows and 105 doors in two suburban rural schools, purchased hearing aids for 9 social children with hearing problems, spent two TV and radio marathons to help the Ukrainian army. The average budget of the foundation for the last two years is UAH 1.5 million.

UNDP Ukraine recognized Foundation Zakhyst as the leader of non-governmental organizations in the south of the country.
