For any organization, it would take an incredible amount of time and resources to build capacity, and establish a structure which serves vulnerable communities worldwide.

If you look at the current state of the world, we don’t have time for that. People need help today. So, Humaniti unlocked a much more efficient and effective way to operate, which focuses on actual impact.

-10% admin fees

Humaniti is committed to the responsible stewardship of donor funds. We maintain our pledge to keep administration fees under 10% of revenues. That means 90% of funds raised are used directly or indirectly to support programs that deliver real, tangible change to people’s lives.

Humaniti and our partners work to address a broad range of issues responsible for the vast majority of suffering in the world. If we can make historic changes in all of these areas, we can make it for humanity as a whole.

Our world makes it easy to look away and decide not to help, but you decided otherwise and you deserve to know the impact your decision made possible.

We also provide donors with progress updates because it’s exciting to see the scope of change we’re making, and we want you to get excited too. This is what a real movement feels like!

How will your donation change lives in 2024? You’ll be the first to know.

Over four million lives have been touched by your generosity in 2023 alone. And we’re already in the process of reaching millions more in 2024.

In 2023, it seemed like the world suffered from an avalanche of disasters and conflicts. We did everything in our power to be on the frontlines, wherever vulnerable people were in the grip of crisis.

Thanks to our incredible donors, Humaniti impacted more people than ever before.

I’m thrilled to share that Humaniti has now expanded to the US with our newly registered 501(c)3 charity, Humaniti Foundation. In a few short months, we have engaged in relief projects that have impacted the lives of over 76,000 people globally.

Over four million lives have been touched by your generosity in 2023 alone. And we’re already in the process of reaching millions more in 2024.

We’re expanding our outreach to impoverished communities, addressing the global need for nutritious food. We’re implementing innovative projects to combat the water crisis, supporting medical missions and mobile healthcare, enhancing our programs

Over 20,000 refugees and IDPs will receive life-saving medical supplies, which Humaniti Foundation has already shipped, and our local US engagement has begun to provide food, shelter, and college tuition to Indigenous orphans who have exited the foster care system.

We will also be expanding our mental health and food security programming to support more vulnerable Canadians facing issues including poverty, displacement and domestic abuse.

As we reflect on what was accomplished in 2023, I’m grateful for the trust and unwavering support you gave us. Humaniti’s network is growing and your commitment to a better world is inspiring us to reach more of our neighbours in need. I’m counting on your
