About Jubilee Foundation
Jubilee Foundation focuses primarily on place-based, community-led international development—especially in Haiti, Mexico and parts of Africa—funding NGOs that combine food/land restoration, livelihoods and local leadership strengthening. They also support refugee/church-based social services and make occasional large local investments in early childhood infrastructure in their hometown of Pasco, WA. Grants favor durable program and capital support rather than one-off events, with an emphasis on poverty-alleviation models that scale through local partners and faith-based networks.

Who They Fund
About Jubilee Foundation
Jubilee Foundation gives large, program-oriented grants to place-based organizations working on community development, food systems, refugee services, and early childhood infrastructure. A standout recent award was $600,000 to Pasco School District for the Lake View Early Learning Center capital project, showing that the foundation will fund major local capital work as well as international development. Its portfolio also includes $304,471 to Catholic Relief Services for preventing child migration and enhancing dignity among families and youth, alongside a $230,379 grant to the same organization for Haiti-focused work. Across the recent grant list, the foundation backs NGOs and church-connected partners that strengthen local leadership, livelihoods, and service delivery. Grants to Beyond Borders for a model community initiative on La Gonave and to Opportunity International for thriving rural communities in Uganda fit that pattern. The foundation’s giving also reaches refugee and community-service infrastructure in Washington through the Family Learning Center and supports organizations working in Haiti, Mexico, Uganda, Kenya, and other parts of Africa. The overall picture is of a funder that favors durable, partner-based investments over short-term event funding.
What Jubilee Foundation Funds
In Haiti, Jubilee Foundation funds both community institutions and agricultural resilience. It gave $230,379 to Catholic Relief Services for "Changing the Way We Care, Haiti," and $99,000 to The Boston Foundation for the Haiti Development Institute’s work on community agricultural production in Camp Perrin. Another Haiti-linked grant of $80,000 went to Floresta USA for restoring lives and land in the Haiti border region. The foundation also supports rural livelihoods and food sovereignty beyond Haiti. It awarded $200,000 to Opportunity International for thriving rural communities in Uganda and $100,000 to Plant With Purpose for transforming rural communities in southern Mexico. A $60,000 grant to Groundswell International for building food sovereignty and a $50,006 grant to World Renew for building resilience in Katilu further show that agriculture, conservation, and household resilience are recurring priorities. Faith-based service delivery is another clear theme. World Relief received $125,000 for church empowerment zones and youth engagement in Les Cayes and another $125,000 for church empowerment zones in Kajiado.
