About World Emergency Relief

World Emergency Relief’s recent grantmaking is built around relief logistics: large in-kind shipments of disinfectants, cleaners, food, water, and medical supplies to organizations that distribute them directly. The biggest recent grant in the file is $6,934,727 to Midwest Food Bank for disinfectant wipes, followed by $3,931,907 to Convoy of Hope for assorted cleaners and disinfectants. That pattern repeats across the recent grants list, where the foundation moves essential supplies to intermediary relief groups rather than funding individuals. The recipient roster includes food banks, ministries, and emergency-response organizations such as Good360, God's Warehouse Ministries, and Means Database. Its active programs reinforce the same operating model: Disaster Response, Children's Food Fund, Medical Aid, Clean Water, and Gifts in Kind / In-Kind Donations & Shipments. The grant purposes show a narrow set of practical needs—sanitation, hydration, food distribution, school supplies, and basic medical goods—delivered for use in disaster zones, underserved communities, and children’s programs. World Emergency Relief is a Public Charity with annual grants of $20,076,505 and total assets of $1,521,545.

What World Emergency Relief Funds

Food security is a major thread in World Emergency Relief’s work. In 2025, it gave $384,981 to The 3000 Club for food and beverages, and in 2024 it gave $61,649 to Emergency Food Bank Stockton for frozen food. The same relief model shows up in child-focused distribution: $261,226 went to The Freedom Tour for food and beverages, and $83,368 went to Serv International for milk. Clean water also appears as a named program area, with the foundation’s active Clean Water program described as providing clay filters, water tanks, and drinking water systems for remote and drought-affected areas. Medical aid is another core lane: recent grants include $159,274 to Good 360 for sterile hospital linens and cleaning supplies, and $16,825 to Heart to Heart International for sterile hospital linens. Education support is tied to practical school needs, including meals, uniforms, and supplies.

How World Emergency Relief Gives

Typical grants cluster in a wide in-kind range: p25 is $24,194, median is $100,567, and p75 is $475,164. The recent list shows both very large shipments and smaller operating-style awards, with many grants framed as specific supply deliveries rather than unrestricted cash. Recipients repeat across years, which points to ongoing relationships: New Life Missions, The 3000 Club, God's Warehouse Ministries, Convoy of Hope, Means Database, Heart to Heart International, and Sol Communications each appear more than once. World Emergency Relief is a Public Charity and a Regular Funder, and its active programs explicitly accept unsolicited requests in several areas, including Disaster Response, Native American Emergency Relief, Clean Water, and Children's Food Fund.
