Learn More About The Recurring Donation Program
We are blessed with so many donors and patrons whose support helps under-privileged and disaster affected communities in times of need. But sometimes, that need is so urgent that our teams have to wait for funds to stream in before deploying—compromising our effectiveness to provide adequate aid to disaster victims.

Global Reach
Humanity First is registered in 25 countries across 6 continents, and has been working on human development projects and responding to disasters since 1992. These have included the earthquakes in Turkey, Pakistan, Japan and Iran, floods in Africa and Latin America, storms and tsunamis in the USA, Indonesia and Bangladesh, and conflicts in Eastern Europe.
Return on Investment
Since its inception and IRS registration in 2004, Humanity First has been focused on spending most of the raised funds on direct program related expenses. As a result, more than 90% of its funds are in that expense category. This is achieved through dedicated volunteers in its management, and program operation teams.
