Fund Refugee Ventures & Entrepreneurs

Curated by John Kluge

The RIN is the first impact investing and blended finance collaborative dedicated to creating durable solutions to global forced migration. In our philanthropic fund, we're supporting organizations that have programs and are dedicated to supporting global refugee entrepreneurs and refugee-supporting enterprises.

About this fund:

In this fund, we're pulling together three organizations that RIN has worked with on a regular basis. These organizations have programs that directly support refugee entrepreneurs with skills development, job placement, and career support.

This fund services ventures in the US and globally. Please browse the options to select a geography of interest.

In our fund, 50% of donations will go to the International Rescue Committee's Center for Economic Opportunity (CEO), 25% to the Miller Foundation and 25% to Five One Labs.
