Tent Partnership for Refugees
At a glance
This funder does not accept unsolicited applications. The foundation chooses the organisations it funds itself.
Key takeaways
- Tent Partnership for Refugees does not accept unsolicited requests, so a small charity should seek an introduction or invitation before applying rather than sending a cold application.
- The foundation's listed themes are refugee employment and refugee mentorship, so work in those areas is the clearest fit, and its priority countries (Canada, Colombia, France, Germany, Mexico, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, Sweden, the United Kingdom and the United States) are the places its filing names.
- A typical grant falls between $2,500 and $15,000, with a median of $6,000 and half of its grants at $6,000 or less, so a modest request in that range suits its usual pattern, although its largest grant was about $66,500.
- In its most recent filing, none of its grant dollars went to organisations it had also funded in its earlier filings, so a past grant is not a reliable basis for expecting another.
