How the collective works:

Always local.

Holistic care that builds peace.

Members give monthly.

Local orgs join as fellows.

The collective responds as one.

Uniting multiplies impact.

HUMANITE's collective model is different:

HUMANITE's model makes the difference:

Voting
Rights

Fellows are admitted to HUMANITE on the vote of their peers across our collective. Fellows help set the collective's programming priorities.

There’s a lot of talk on decolonizing aid. When you join as a donor or fellow, you do it.

Revenue
Share

HUMANITE distributes a percentage of net revenue to fellows each year, over and above all other forms of funding.

The success of the global collective sustains the success of each local fellow.

Up-front
Funding

Locals shouldn’t go into debt to save lives. Or wait months to be paid back while Western counterparts sit on billions.

HUMANITE keeps our frontlines funded before the crisis, thanks to a generous community of members who give monthly.

Multi-year
Funding

Local peacemakers can’t stop violence while living hand-to-mouth.

HUMANITE's members who give monthly ensure fellows have access to year-over-year funding for greater stability to grow local peace.

Core
Funding

As refugees and war survivors, we know how important (and rare) it is to receive funding for pay increases, mental health support, or anything else that doesn't fit into a proposal.

HUMANITE's sum is greater than our parts. So, we fund the whole pie. When we strengthen our fellows, all rise.

Grant
Support

In 2016, the aid sector promised ~25X funding increase to local orgs. But little has changed.

Billions of dollars are begging to be released into the hands of local experts.

We use our experience winning major grants to help chapters and fellows access these funds.

Global
Experience

It’s often assumed non-Western orgs have nothing to add outside their country of origin. But war is rarely defined by borders.

HUMANITE educates, raises money, responds, and upgrades as a collective.

Instead of waiting for a seat at the table, HUMANITE makes global impact together, caring for each other's people, across borders.

Alumni
Community

While some perks (like funding) may be temporary, the benefits of being in the HUMANITE collective are not.

HUMANITE alumni are encouraged to contribute and benefit in perpetuity. As alumni careers advance across all industries, and our collective efforts continue to be successful, the HUMANITE alumni network becomes even more beneficial and impactful.

We all give. We all receive. We all rise.

Strategic
Support

Peace is up against more propaganda than ever. The clearest message wins.

And locals are often competing for Western money without the training they need to convey their true skills or vision.

HUMANITE gives professional communication support to help stop the spread of violence.

FOR ORGANIZATIONS

How does my local organization join HUMANITE as a fellow? 

We typically recruit from our own networks. But if you're looking for a global community that shares the work and rewards together, we would love to know you.

FOR DONORS

How does an individual or family best support HUMANITE?

Nothing creates more impact than the dedicated recurring giving of our members.
