To provide peace and hope for the future by alleviating immediate humanitarian concerns and aiding in the development of infrastructure necessary for growth and stability in South Sudan and the Nuba region of Sudan.
Sudan Relief Fund Inc centers its giving on emergency humanitarian aid for the people of South Sudan and the Nuba Mountains of Sudan, with support for food, safe drinking water, shelter, medical attention, schools, hospitals, water projects, vocational training, and other long-term development needs. Its largest recent grant was $1,050,000 to Samaritans Purse for general support, underscoring a grantmaking approach that relies on established implementing partners rather than individuals. The foundation’s recent record also includes sizable support for African Medical Health Foundation, African Mission Healthcare, and Catholic Medical Mission Board, all of which received six-figure awards tied to general support. Those grants point to a pattern of backing organizations that can deliver medical care and humanitarian services at scale. The foundation also funds faith-linked and mission-oriented groups such as Franciscan Missionary Union, Lift Up the Vulnerable, and To Move Mountains. Across the recent grants listed here, the emphasis is not on isolated projects but on recurring support for organizations carrying out relief and development work in Sudan-linked contexts.
Healthcare is a clear priority in the grant record. Sudan Relief Fund Inc gave $540,853 to African Medical Health Foundation for general support and $499,133 and $422,472 to African Mission Healthcare for general support, showing sustained support for medical delivery partners. It also awarded $500,000 to Catholic Medical Mission Board and $447,510 more to the same organization in 2025, again with general support attached to the latter grant. Education and long-term development appear in the foundation’s stated mission through schools, hospitals, water projects, and vocational training, which aligns with its broader humanitarian framing. Community-based relief is also visible in support for Lift Up the Vulnerable, which received $75,000 in 2023 for general support. Faith-based and mission organizations are part of the portfolio too, including Franciscan Missionary Union and Association for Catholic I.
Typical grants cluster in the middle to upper-middle range: the 25th percentile is $75,000, the median is $187,608, and the 75th percentile is $499,350. The record shows repeated support to the same organizations across multiple years, including African Mission Healthcare, Catholic Medical Mission Board, Franciscan Missionary Union, and To Move Mountains, which suggests an ongoing funding relationship rather than one-time awards. The foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and does not fund individuals. Its grants shown here are largely general support or unrestricted-style support, indicating flexible operating backing rather than tightly restricted project grants.
