About Humanity United
Humanity United’s largest recent grants point to a funder that backs advocacy, research, and peace work at substantial scale: $749,893 to The Unyoke Foundation (RF) NPC in Cape Town, plus multiple six-figure grants to organizations working on human rights, labor accountability, and peacebuilding. Across the recent-grants list, the foundation repeatedly supports general operating costs, suggesting a preference for flexible support alongside program-specific funding. The foundation gives to groups working on forced labor, peacebuilding, public engagement, racial justice and equity, worker power, and corporate accountability. Its recent portfolio includes repeat support for Business & Human Rights Resource Centre US Ltd in New York and Worker Rights Consortium in Washington, DC, both receiving $650,000 in 2024. That pattern sits alongside grants to movements and institutions working across borders, from Cape Town to London to Brooklyn. Humanity United also uses program-related investments and is classified as a regular funder, with grantmaking that includes both operating support and multi-year initiatives such as the Collective Action Accelerator Fund.
What Humanity United Funds
In peacebuilding, Humanity United backs proximate peace actors and networks. Recent grants include $550,000 to Visions Made Viable in Irvine, CA and $510,000 to Institut Malien de Recherche Action pour la Paix in Bamako, both listed under Peacebuilding. The portfolio also includes support for peace work in Colombia and South Sudan through its peacebuilding program. The foundation also funds forced labor and supply-chain accountability. It gave $562,218 and $505,451 to Freedom Fund in Brooklyn, NY, and another $350,000 in 2024 to the same grantee under Forced Labor. For journalism and public engagement, Humanity United supported Fuller Project For International Reporting Inc in Washington, DC with $500,000 and Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting with $300,000, both as general operating support. Racial justice and equity appears in the portfolio through cross-community power-building, including support for organizations advancing structural change.
How Humanity United Gives
Humanity United’s recent grant sizes cluster around a median of $50,000, with a p25 of $10,000 and a p75 of $100,000. The recent-grants table shows a mix of large operating grants and smaller programmatic awards, including several repeated grants to the same organizations across 2023 to 2025. That repeated funding pattern appears in multiple recipients, which points to ongoing relationships rather than one-off gifts. The foundation is a regular funder and makes program-related investments. Its active programs include both invitation-based tracks and at least one initiative that accepts unsolicited submissions: the Collective Action Accelerator Fund and the Conducive Space for Peace Accelerator. Other tracks listed here do not accept unsolicited proposals.
