About Global Whole Being Fund
Global Whole Being Fund’s recent grantmaking is defined by very large program grants to organizations working with people on the move, especially refugee-led and community-led groups responding to conflict and climate displacement. The largest recent grant listed is $5,720,235 to Choose Love Inc in New York, followed by $3,725,510 to the same organization in 2024, showing a repeated relationship at substantial scale. Another major award went to Al Otro Lado Inc in Los Angeles for $561,790, alongside support for advocacy, response, and community infrastructure groups serving displaced people. The funder’s stated summary centers on advancing the rights and wellbeing of people on the move through holistic resourcing, organizational development, and philanthropy-building. That orientation appears across its active programs, which combine direct grants, capacity strengthening, and rapid-response support rather than a single issue-area model. Recent awards also include groups connected to asylum, refugee support, and migration response, such as Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project, Atlantic Council of the United States, and Institute of Chin Affairs, suggesting a mix of direct service, advocacy, and systems-oriented support within the broader displacement field.
What Global Whole Being Fund Funds
A clear thread in the grant list is legal and advocacy support for displaced people. Global Whole Being Fund gave $150,000 to Asylum Seeker Advocacy Project in 2025 and another $150,000 in 2024, indicating sustained support for asylum-related work. In migration-response work, it awarded $561,790 to Al Otro Lado Inc for program activity, a sizable grant tied to people navigating borders and protection systems. The funder also supports community-based diaspora and refugee-led organizing: Colors Rainbow received $40,020 in 2025, and Rohingya Women Development Network received $15,000 the same year. Capacity building is another recurring theme in the active programs, including organizational development, coaching, and consulting for community-led organizations. Across these areas, the emphasis stays on organizations serving people displaced by conflict and climate disasters rather than on broad unrestricted philanthropy.

Its active programs are structured around direct funding, organizational development, and intermediary partnerships, and several programs explicitly say they do not accept unsolicited requests.
