The foundation concentrates its giving on urgent international humanitarian relief delivered through the Red Cross/Red Crescent movement. All recorded grants were directed to IFRC-Geneva to support response and recovery after the Sulawesi, Indonesia earthquake and tsunami, indicating a focus on disaster emergency funding rather than long-term program diversification. The NYC-based entity acts as a conduit for sizable, targeted disaster relief contributions to IFRC operations in affected countries.
The largest recorded grant was $950,000 to IFRC-Geneva for the Forecast Based Action Fund, which signals a strong emphasis on anticipatory disaster response rather than only post-event aid. Across the recorded awards, International Federation of Red Cross Red Crescent Soc at the UN Inc channels support through IFRC-Geneva for emergency relief, recovery, and operational resources tied to disasters in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mozambique. The pattern is concentrated in Red Cross and Red Crescent structures, with grants labeled for specific events such as the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, Indonesia earthquakes and tsunami, and regular resources for IFRC operations. That makes the funder’s role fairly clear: it is a conduit for targeted humanitarian funding within the international movement, backing response mechanisms that can be deployed quickly when disasters strike. One other sizable grant, $590,053, supported the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, underscoring the importance of major event-specific response funding in the portfolio.
In emergency preparedness, the foundation backed the Forecast Based Action Fund with $950,000, linking its giving to anticipatory humanitarian action. For post-disaster response, it awarded $259,350 to IFRC-Geneva for the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund, a mechanism associated with rapid relief deployment. Event-specific support also appears in Indonesia-focused grants: $61,115 went to Indonesia Earthquakes and Tsunami, and $47,500 to Indonesia Earthquake Lombok, showing repeated support for earthquake and tsunami response in the region. Smaller disaster grants extended to other crises as well, including $13,397 for Philippines Typhoon Mangkhut and $142 for Mozambique Cyclone Idai, both through IFRC-Geneva.
The typical grant size is uneven, with p25 at $38,974, a median of $54,346, and p75 of $342,026, showing a mix of modest operating support and much larger emergency awards. The 2023 record includes multiple grants to IFRC-Geneva, alongside a 2025 regular-resources payment, so the same grantee appears across more than one year. The foundation is classified as a Regular Funder and makes grants to individuals, though the recorded grants here are all institutional awards. No application process is shown in the data.

Highly concentrated: a small number of grants (three) all to a single intermediary (IFRC-Geneva) for a specific disaster response, representing one large, targeted funding stream rather than distributed or thematic portfolio support.
Notable grantees: IFRC-Geneva (support for Indonesia earthquake and tsunami response)
Recorded grants are international in purpose but highly concentrated in the recipient location shown in the data: all nine grants were counted in SZ for recipient-country distribution, while the grants themselves went to IFRC-Geneva in Geneva. The named crisis geographies in the grant purposes are Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mozambique. Within those, Indonesia appears most often through Sulawesi, Lombok, and broader earthquake and tsunami references.
The recorded grants focus on emergency response and recovery after earthquakes, tsunamis, typhoons, and cyclones. Named examples include the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi, Indonesia Earthquake Lombok, Philippines Typhoon Mangkhut, and Mozambique Cyclone Idai, all routed through IFRC-Geneva.
Both appear in the record. It gave $47,576 in 2023 and $8,566 in 2025 for regular resources, while also making event-specific grants such as $590,053 for the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi and $259,350 for the Disaster Relief Emergency Fund.
The grant-size distribution is centered in the tens of thousands, with p25 at $38,974, a median of $54,346, and p75 at $342,026. That range indicates a few much larger disaster-response awards alongside smaller support grants.
The recorded grants all go to IFRC-Geneva in Geneva, and the recipient-country distribution shows 9 grants in SZ. The crisis geographies named in the purposes include Indonesia, the Philippines, and Mozambique.
