About Unfcu Foundation
A $132,903 grant to US Association for Unhcr set the tone for Unfcu Foundation Inc’s recent giving: support for refugees, forcibly displaced communities, and stateless people sits alongside a broader effort to help women and youth move out of poverty. The foundation’s recent awards also show a parallel commitment to women’s health and rehabilitation, including $91,283 to the United Nations Population Fund for a project advancing empowerment of fistula survivors post-COVID-19. Their portfolio includes education, health care, livelihood training, and humanitarian relief, with grants reaching organizations working in the United States and in Africa. Recent awards range from national humanitarian organizations to local service providers, suggesting a mix of systems-level support and direct program funding. In New York, grants have gone to groups such as United States Fund for UNICEF, The Floating Hospital, and Mount Sinai Hospital, while other awards support work in Maryland, Washington, DC, and Uganda. The pattern points to a funder that backs both protection-oriented work for displaced populations and practical services that combine education, health, and economic opportunity.
What Unfcu Foundation Funds
Women’s empowerment appears across several recent grants. The foundation gave $50,000 to The Boma Project Inc for a rural entrepreneur access project in Kenya, and $25,000 to Village Enterprise for a graduation approach serving women living in rural poverty in Uganda through business savings groups, financial literacy, and sustainability training. In education, it supported Building Tomorrow Inc with $50,000 to ensure children in rural Uganda access foundational learning opportunities, and Girl Up UN Foundation received $50,000 for leadership development for girls in three under-resourced communities in Kenya. Health-related grantmaking includes $40,000 to Mount Sinai Hospital to provide integrated medical, sexual and reproductive health, and behavioral and mental health services. The foundation also funded The Floating Hospital for a behavioral health program for women and girls, reflecting a repeated emphasis on services for women and youth rather than narrow issue-specific work.
How Unfcu Foundation Gives
Typical grants cluster in the mid-five-figure range, with p25 at $25,000, a median of $40,000, and p75 at $50,000. The recent list shows repeated support to the same organizations across 2023 and 2024, including United States Fund for UNICEF, The Floating Hospital, Mindleaps, Building Tomorrow Inc, Together We Bake, Refushe, The Boma Project Inc, Village Enterprise, Trickle Up, Girl Up UN Foundation, and US Association for Unhcr. That pattern suggests a recurring-grantee portfolio rather than isolated one-off awards.
