GlobalGiving helps trusted, community-led organizations from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe (and hundreds of places in between) access the tools, training, and support they need to make our world a better place.

With their work in disaster relief and recovery, GlobalGiving supports unmet, long-term recovery needs for communities in Maui, Turkey, Sudan, and beyond. They focus on sharing power, eliminating barriers to equitable disaster recovery, fostering strong relationships, and providing long-lasting support so communities are better prepared for future disasters.

In 2023, GlobalGiving responded to 134 new disasters and crisis events around the world, raising over $32M and partnering with 354 vetted organizations to provide life-saving and long-term assistance to survivors of war, wildfires, hurricanes, and other hardships.

Harbourton is pleased to support relief and recovery efforts for families impacted by the Israel-Palestine Crisis, the Sudan humanitarian emergency, and the Hawaii wildfires. We are thankful for all GlobalGiving does to make this direct and impactful aid possible.

Mindful Life Project (MLP) is an innovator and pioneer providing comprehensive, in-person, mindfulness-based, social emotional learning supports for young people in schools. Their work is focused in geographies and schools that have been historically marginalized or have experienced high-density trauma. Harbourton’s support for MLP through Zephyr Impact provided a multi-year, unrestricted grant to help increase capacity, grow programmatic reach across California, and prepare for the national expansion of this extraordinary program. In 2023, MLP served over 80,000 students, their educators, and their families in 25 cities across California. The work of Mindful Life Project not only ensures all people in school have opportunities to build strong mental and emotional health; it also demonstrates for all our youth-serving institutions what is possible when we prioritize the mental and emotional health for every child.

ReFED is the national nonprofit organization working exclusively on the challenge of food loss and waste, with the mission of catalyzing the food system toward evidence-based action to stop wasting food – for the climate, environment, people, and the economy. In 2023, the ReFED team completed their first annual update of food loss and waste data, increasing food system accountability for reaching the U.S. goal of reducing waste by 50% by 2030. With academic and NGO partners, ReFED launched the Zero Food Waste Coalition to inform policy efforts at the federal and state levels, and the U.S. Food Waste Pact to support businesses in food waste reduction. The team continues to grow the food loss and waste movement through collaborations and convenings, including hosting the largest Food Waste Solutions Summit in our history in St. Louis, and fully launching a suite of educational and consulting services to support businesses across the supply chain.

ReFED’s amazing track record of outsized impact attracted the attention of leaders at the Ballmer Group, who provided a $15 million grant over three years that will assure this work and impact will continue to scale.
