In 2022, almost €1 million went back to Ukraine. Theo Schnitfink made a decision from the start: all profits generated in Ukraine would go back to the country. Alongside that, Stand by Ukraine, a foundation created in those same weeks, began raising funds and delivering humanitarian and emergency aid through corporate donations, internal fundraising, and charity auctions.

When Symphonians were called up to defend Ukraine, we made a decision: no one who serves would navigate that alone. We built a dedicated support structure covering financial assistance, administrative help, and ongoing care for mobilized colleagues and their families. €913,222 has gone to Symphonians in direct financial support; €1.4M in total, including community fundraising, since 2022. That support continues for as long as our colleagues serve.

The Children’s Mobile Hospice in Lviv is run by With an Angel on a Shoulder Foundation. It brings medical care directly to 103 children with incurable illnesses who cannot travel to a clinic. We first directed Distance for a Difference funds to this program in 2023, then in 2024, then again in 2026.

The foundation has been supporting children and families in Lviv since 2017, is ranked among the TOP 100+ most transparent charitable organizations in Ukraine, runs over 100 charity events annually, and is supported by 108 volunteers.

Symphony Solutions has supported the INSO Lviv orchestra for over a decade, making it one of our longest-running partnerships. The connection is not accidental. Our name is Symphony. Our ethos is to write code like music. Supporting live symphonic music in the city where this company was built is not a detour from who we are, it is an expression of it.

Eight years ago, Valentyna Synenka, Board Member at Symphony Solutions, created a space for women in tech to grow, lead, and connect. SHE. Community has been running ever since. Events, mentorship, and open conversations create real opportunity rather than performative programming. In 2025, SHE Moves raised €7,000+ for women and families affected by the war.

Symphony Solutions has operated in North Macedonia since 2015, and that presence has always carried responsibility beyond business. We support SOS Children’s Village, helping children without parental care access quality education, and Glas Protiv Nasilstvo, which serves women and children affected by domestic violence. When we moved to a virtual office, we donated 38 desks to a local school, personally delivered by a Symphonian from the region. In 2025, SHE. Community held its first Skopje edition.

We take seriously our responsibility to the people entering the tech industry and to the communities around us. We have backed startup competitions for vocational school students in Lviv, including #GET-SET, where Theo Schnitfink personally awarded the winning team for their ground drone concept. We sponsor tech conferences across Europe, host university welcome events, collect equipment for schoolchildren, and run tech communities across Ukraine, Poland, and Macedonia. Knowledge should not be a privilege.
