About Human Concern International
Human Concern International focuses almost entirely on international humanitarian relief, with a strong emphasis on aid for Palestinian refugees and needs in Muslim-majority or conflict-affected contexts. The foundation makes a small number of large, targeted grants to established international relief agencies and affiliated national committees, and also supports reproductive health through UNFPA-related fundraising channels. Its giving profile suggests a mix of one-off large emergency/sectoral funding and some repeat support to mission-aligned partners.

Giving Approach
About Human Concern International
Human Concern International’s most distinctive recent grant is a $1,441,535 award to UNRWA USA National Committee Inc, underscoring a grantmaking profile built around international humanitarian relief rather than broad domestic philanthropy. The foundation’s recent support also includes repeated funding for USA for UNFPA, alongside grants to Human Concern US Inc and Ikram Foundation. That mix points to a small set of large, targeted awards to organizations tied to emergency response, population health, and Muslim-affiliated humanitarian networks. The foundation’s giving is tightly aligned with crisis settings and vulnerable populations, including Palestinian refugees and other communities facing conflict or disaster. Its recent grants show a preference for established intermediaries rather than many small local awards. In practice, Human Concern International appears to channel most of its annual grant budget into a handful of named partners, with one exceptionally large grant and several much smaller follow-on awards. The result is a focused profile centered on humanitarian aid, relief coordination, and mission-aligned international support.
What Human Concern International Funds
A major theme in Human Concern International’s giving is humanitarian assistance for Palestinian refugees. The largest recent grant, $1,441,535, went to UNRWA USA National Committee Inc, indicating support tied to UNRWA-linked relief channels. A second thread is reproductive health and population programming. The foundation gave $101,033 and $100,686 to USA for UNFPA, showing repeated support for UNFPA-related fundraising efforts in the same year. Its grantmaking also reaches Muslim-affiliated humanitarian organizations. Human Concern US Inc received $96,280, and Ikram Foundation received $6,815, suggesting smaller awards to partners connected to international relief and community-based aid networks. Across these examples, the common pattern is targeted funding for organizations working in crisis-affected or high-need contexts.
How Human Concern International Gives
Human Concern International’s recent grant sizes are sharply skewed: the top award is $1,441,535, while the next two grants are just over $100,000 and the smallest listed grant is $6,815. That spread shows a model of one very large award alongside a few much smaller grants. The recent record also suggests repeat support, since USA for UNFPA appears twice in the latest year on file with separate grants of $101,033 and $100,686. The foundation is a Public Charity, does not fund individuals, and does not make program-related investments. Its grant record points to targeted institutional support rather than open, broad-based applications.
