The Jolie-Pitt Foundation concentrates on international humanitarian and health work, providing large, flexible grants to a small set of organizations addressing global health, crisis relief and community-level development. Their giving is largely unrestricted, allowing grantees to use funds for general operating needs; they also support targeted causes such as wildlife/community projects in southern Africa and reproductive access in the U.S. The foundation favors repeat, sizable commitments to trusted partners rather than many one-off grants.
The Jolie-Pitt Foundation’s recent grantmaking is defined by a small number of large, repeat commitments, especially to Global Health Committee Inc. In 2025, the foundation gave the Boston-based organization $424,600 for roof repairs and another $237,700 for general and unrestricted support. That same grantee also received $150,000 in 2024 and two $150,000 grants in 2023, showing a sustained relationship rather than isolated awards. The foundation also backs humanitarian and refugee work through intermediaries and partner organizations, including a $37,275 grant to United States Association for Unhcr for assistance in Yemen and a $30,000 grant to Refugees International. Another recurring line of support is wildlife and community work in Namibia, where Naankuse Foundation received $50,000 in both 2024 and 2025. Across the recent record, the foundation appears to favor flexible funding, infrastructure repair, and targeted relief for health, displacement, and community needs.
In health-system support, the foundation gave $100,158 to Global Health Committee Inc for rehabilitation of the hospital, accumulated costs for taxes and insurance, and security of the hospital during the last year. In the same cluster, it also funded roof repairs and a fence completion project for the organization’s property. For refugee and displacement work, the foundation made a $37,275 grant to United States Association for Unhcr for distribution in Yemen, including basic needs in Lahj and a youth program in Basateen. It also gave $10,000 to the same organization for a project in Pakistan supporting Afghan school children through INSPIRE, a local UNHCR partner. In reproductive access, the foundation provided $50,000 to National Network of Abortion Funds for general and unrestricted support.
Typical grant size centers on mid-sized awards: the 25th percentile is $5,000, the median is $12,500, and the 75th percentile is $50,000. The foundation’s recent record shows repeated support to a limited set of organizations rather than one-off giving. Global Health Committee Inc appears multiple times across 2023, 2024, and 2025, and Naankuse Foundation received grants in both 2024 and 2025. The foundation is a regular funder, not a DAF, and it does not fund individuals or make program-related investments. Grants in the file include both general and unrestricted support and purpose-specific awards.
