Planet Humana Fund
We support current affairs causes around the globe - with direct cash straight into the hands of people doing the best work.
Often the only option for people who want to make a difference is either give to a large administration-heavy organisation, or blindly make an online donation to an unknown group or individual which claims to be doing the most immediate and impactful work.
We provide grants to support high-impact and innovative frontline work across various issues, without burdening grassroots organisations/individuals (which are often 100% focused on doing the actual work) with having to produce project grants.
Our chain-of-trust is created by seeing for ourselves the work, and meeting the people who do the work.
For example, we went to Kharkiv in Ukraine to meet 'Tony,' an English volunteer first responder. He has his own response vehicle. With missiles hitting the city daily, he doesn't have time to apply for a project grant! He's literally hands-on saving lives every day. He needs tourniquets and Israeli bandages. His option is to use his own savings, or borrow from friends. Planet Humana stepped in to provide a cash grant to purchase those items, and to keep him and his crew and cars mobile.
Planet Humana draws its funds from a small circle of high wealth individuals. We outsource almost all our administration. We are growth-limited, with a view to maximising the flow of funds straight to where it makes the biggest difference. We're hands-on, and boots-on-the-ground.
