Private philanthropists

Our partnerships with private philanthropists enable us to expand our reach and make a meaningful impact to protect, support and assist those affected by armed conflict and other crises around the world.

Together we can make a difference

We team up with philanthropists around the world to get essential aid to people caught up in armed conflict. Private philanthropists often bring a fresh perspective and entrepreneurial spirit to the partnership, promoting innovative solutions and driving action in the humanitarian sector. Philanthropic partnerships spark innovative solutions, new ways of working and opportunity on both sides to align our values and resources and ease the suffering of people in some of the most dangerous places and difficult situations on Earth.
