EMERGENCY FUNDING

Emergency situations often require rapid response in order to address humanitarian needs. The Karl Kahane Foundation reserves a portion of its annual funding for organisations working on the ground during humanitarian emergencies with the purpose of providing fast and supportive funding when and where it is most needed. The geographic focus areas of emergency funding corresponds with those of the foundation’s regular funding. We are not open to unsolicited applications for emergency support.
