About Cultures of Resistance Network Foundation
Cultures of Resistance Network Foundation’s largest recent grants go to Palestinian higher education: Birzeit University Fund received $125,000 in 2023 and again in 2025 for scholarship support, including a 50 Cultures of Resistance scholarship fund. That recurring commitment sets the tone for the foundation’s work. Across recent filings, the foundation also backs medical aid for Palestinians, with $100,000 grants to Myriad USA Inc in both 2024 and 2025 for Medical Aid for Palestinians. Those two strands — education and humanitarian health support — account for much of the foundation’s visible giving pattern. The foundation’s recent grants also show support for Palestinian institutions and allied relief organizations, including funding for children’s protection, medical relief, and school or cultural programs connected to Palestinian communities. Its grantmaking is concentrated in mission-aligned intermediaries and nonprofit partners rather than a wide mix of unrelated causes. The result is a focused portfolio centered on Palestinian students, patients, and institutions, with smaller grants reinforcing that core orientation through related humanitarian and educational work.
What Cultures of Resistance Network Foundation Funds
In scholarship support, the foundation gave $125,000 to Birzeit University Fund for a scholarship fund and another $15,000 to Molham Volunteering Team for a Scholarship Fund. That pairing shows direct support for student access and education continuity. For medical and humanitarian relief, it awarded $100,000 to Myriad USA Inc for Medical Aid for Palestinians and $20,000 to Medecins Sans Frontieres USA Inc for funds for Gaza. Those grants point to emergency health support alongside broader medical aid. The foundation also supports child welfare and education-related programs. It gave $50,000 to Charities Aid Foundation America to support Defence for Children International Palestine and $19,000 to United Palestinian Appeal Inc for Dar Al-Tifel Al-Arabi School. Smaller grants to Middle East Childrens Alliance for The Freedom Theatre and Shoruq Organization add a cultural and community-based dimension.
