Halshka Hulevychivna was a noblewoman and philanthropist from the Volyn region who lived during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Born into the influential Hulevych family, she was deeply committed to the spiritual and educational advancement of the Ruthenian people. She is most recognized for her significant endowment in 1615, which provided the necessary land and resources to establish the Kyiv Brotherhood Epiphany Monastery and a school. This educational institution served as a vital precursor to the later Kyiv-Mohyla Academy.
