The GlobalGiving Hurricane Helene Relief Fund has been instrumental in providing both immediate and long-term assistance to underfunded and overlooked communities devastated by the storm. The fund has supported community-based response and recovery across multiple states, including the Carolinas, Florida, Georgia, and Tennessee, supplying essential resources in the early response phase and long-term support for those recovering in close partnership with organizations like MANNA Food Bank of Asheville and the Housing Collaborative of North Carolina. Donations to the Fund have collectively enabled GlobalGiving to address the evolving needs of affected communities, ensuring sustained support throughout the recovery process.

The GlobalGiving Middle East Crisis Relief Fund has provided rapid and sustained support to community-based organizations serving millions of people in Gaza, Lebanon, and neighboring countries. Through this fund, essential emergency aid—including food, clean water, medical supplies, and shelter—has been delivered to communities in dire need. Anera, just one of the fund's partners, has distributed over 14 million meals and nearly 30,000 hygiene kits to Palestinians across Gaza. GlobalGiving remains committed to addressing diverse needs, including mental health services and long-term recovery initiatives, aiming to alleviate the suffering of displaced families through direct support to local-led response.

In 2024, Centurion freed its 71st innocent client, Jose Carrion, from prison in the Bronx, NY; Mr. Carrion spent 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. On August 1, he was released into the loving arms of his family and is working on rebuilding his life post-release, including marrying his high school sweetheart in December of 2024. We are currently working on behalf of 20 innocent individuals who remain wrongfully imprisoned.

 Continuing our efforts to help the community we serve, identify and manage the PTSD they experience as a result of their wrongful incarceration, Centurion hosted its 3rd Annual Exoneree Retreat in April of 2024. We gathered 21 freed clients to spend 3 days in Princeton, NJ to work with practitioners in a variety of modalities that are proven to help people manage PTSD. We look forward to our 4th Annual Retreat in April of this year.

Finally, Centurion Founder Jim McCloskey, and Board Member John Grisham released their NY Times best selling book, Framed, highlighting 10 stories of wrongful conviction, and shining a much needed light on the crisis of wrongful conviction across the country.

We are a team of volunteers who travel to Guatemala annually and provide free medical care to the citizens. Half of our volunteers are medical professionals, including general practitioners, surgeons, dentists, and nurses. The other half, “Helpers,” serve as translators and assist the medical professionals.

For one week a year, we take over a school or military base that we turn into a temporary hospital, as we go more remotely into areas where there are no hospitals. While there, we will see about 1,000 patients in the clinic for wellness checkups, general ailments, and dental issues. On average, our surgical staff will perform 135 surgeries, such as gallbladder removals, tubal ligations, and hernias. When the size of our team allows, we also send an outreach team into a local village so people who don’t have access to transportation can see a clinic doctor or a dentist.

In 2024, we did 138 life changing surgeries in 4 1/2 days! We did more gynecological surgeries than any other year and there were quite a few cleft lip/palates and large neck masses.

RFC envisions a world in which land is deeply cared for, power is equitably shared, and farms, ranches, and the people who work them flourish.

Each year, Rose Haven hosts dozens of community celebrations for our guests, creating meaningful moments to connect, celebrate, and focus on more than just survival. From International Women's Day and the PRIDE Party to the Harvest Meal of Gratitude and the Kids Holiday Gift Giveaway, these gatherings foster joy and community. Thanks to our mental health team, we’ve also integrated more trauma-informed care into these events, ensuring they are not only festive but also supportive and healing, while creating more accessible opportunities to socialize and engage.

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.

The Eagle Valley Community Foundation (EVCF) works passionately to provide responsive solutions that meet the most critical and emerging needs of those working or living in the Eagle River Valley.

The Community Market’s (TCM) is a signature project of EVCF with a goal to provide low-income communities with access to free, healthy food as well as to prevent food from going to waste. Their work strives to “provide good food at the heart of our community.” The three pillars that guide their work: Healthy People, Strong Communities, and Environmental Sustainability.

The Community Market helps reduce the overall community carbon footprint by reducing food waste and recovering excess fresh food from local grocers, farmers, schools, events, and restaurants. The TCM team also addresses food insecurity and ensures that donated and rescued produce have an entire lifecycle when used through the Foundation. TCM’s three-step process focuses on first feeding people, then feeding animals (as farmers pick up food scraps at The Community Markets) and finally, composting and converting food waste to build nutrient rich soil for community use.
