By Kyra Zimmerman | Senior Associate, Disaster Response
Thank you for your generous donation to the Syrian Refugee Relief Fund. Donations to this GlobalGiving fund have been supporting Syrian refugees and internally displaced communities for more than 10 years.
Our team recently completed a round of flexible, trust-based grants in support of vetted organizations based in Lebanon. These trusted organizations are responding to the urgent and long-term needs of Syrians facing food, employment, and housing insecurity because of the extreme economic crisis that is crippling communities across Lebanon. The situation for Syrian refugees in Lebanon is particularly precarious these days. On top of Lebanon's economic crisis, there are frequent documentation and arrest raids and forced repatriations of refugees back to Syria.
We made four grants to high-impact and community-led nonprofit organizations based in Lebanon at the forefront of this increasingly protracted — and complex — displacement crisis. Here is a short description of the critical work you’ve supported across the country:
Your support of the GlobalGiving Syrian Refugee Relief Fund powers community-led responses. It means Syrian refugees facing increasing challenges across Lebanon and beyond get the critical resources they need to not only survive but thrive more than 10 years after many of them fled their home and left their homeland behind.
Thank you, we cannot say it enough.
With gratitude,
Kyra + the GlobalGiving Team

When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
