The Dunn Family Charitable Foundation appears to make targeted, substantial gifts to international human-rights organizations focused on forced migration and statelessness. Its single recorded grant is a large, unrestricted award to the Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion, suggesting an interest in research, advocacy, and policy work that promotes inclusion and citizenship rights globally. The foundation gives core support rather than project-restricted funding and is willing to fund non-U.S. organizations.
Concentrated giving: a single large, unrestricted grant to an international specialist organization rather than many small or local gifts; suggests occasional, strategic funding of core operations for focused causes.
Dunn Family Charitable Foundation C/o Ahi/lhf gives large unrestricted grants to organizations working on statelessness, forced migration, and related human-rights advocacy. Its largest recorded award is a $315,000 unrestricted gift to Stichting Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion, a signal that the foundation supports research, policy, and legal advocacy around citizenship and inclusion rather than tightly restricted project grants. The recent record also shows repeat support for groups in the same issue area, including Anti-slavery International, which received $50,000 in 2023 and another $50,000 in 2025. Beyond that core theme, the foundation funds allied work on refugee rights and displacement through groups such as The Freedom Fund and Freedom United. The pattern suggests a funder that backs advocacy organizations with flexible operating support, including international nonprofits and U.S.-based intermediaries. Several grants are substantial, with awards in the tens of thousands and some six-figure gifts, indicating a preference for meaningful general support over smaller program-specific awards.
Statelessness and citizenship rights sit at the center of the foundation’s giving. In 2023, it gave $315,000 to Stichting Institute on Statelessness and Inclusion for an unrestricted gift, and it followed with another $50,000 unrestricted award in 2025. Anti-slavery work is another recurring area: Anti-slavery International received $50,000 in 2023 and $50,000 in 2025, both unrestricted. The foundation also funds broader displacement and migration advocacy through The Freedom Fund, which received $120,000 in 2023, and Freedom United, which received $60,000 in 2025. It has also supported organizations working on grassroots justice and inclusion, including Global Greengrants Fund Inc and Thousand Currents with unrestricted gifts.
The typical grant size is $2,200 at the 25th percentile, $10,000 at the median, and $25,000 at the 75th percentile, but the recent record also includes much larger unrestricted awards, including six-figure gifts. The pattern points to repeat support: several recipients appear in multiple years, such as Middlebury College, Medglobal Inc, Anti-slavery International, Global Greengrants Fund Inc, and Thousand Currents. The foundation is classified as a regular funder and does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. The grants shown are consistently unrestricted, which suggests flexible operating support is a common approach.
