OUR APPROACH
The Problem:
"The global humanitarian
system is broken."
Billions of dollars have recently been cut from humanitarian aid, with devastating impact on communities and countries around the world, but the system also had several flaws. The previously $43B industry, although well-intentioned and doing a lot of good, remained slow, inefficient, and riddled with issues that perpetuated dependency rather than fostering resilience. We need to demonstrate that there is another way.
Key issues include:
Slow Response
Traditional top-down aid systems can take too long to reach those in need.
Dependency
Instead of empowering local communities, international aid often creates long-term reliance.
Undermining Dignity
Current models frequently undermine communities’ agency and self-respect.
Root Causes
Historic approaches failed to help communities reduce their vulnerability to future crises.
These challenges are well documented, yet meaningful reform has been slow. Crisis-affected communities deserve better. Voices from within the humanitarian sector echo this urgent need for change.
What our Partners are saying.
Resilio Fund:
A New Way Forward
Resilio Fund offers a revolutionary solution by simply supporting what local communities are already doing to respond to a crisis. At the heart of this approach is the recognition that in every country, in every culture, and in every type of crisis, the community is always the first to respond. Indeed, we often see incredible altruism and collective compassion and action in the aftermath of a crisis. By getting behind what local communities are already doing to help each other, Resilio Fund ensures that aid is faster, more accurate, respectful of local dignity, and supports resilience.
An approach that
promotes dignity,
self-help, local
ownership & resilience.
Works with larger local/national organisations to provide micro-grants & support.

By getting behind what local communities are already doing to help themselves, Resilio Fund ensures that aid is faster and more accurate, respects local dignity, and builds resilience for the future. We don’t create parallel systems or impose one-size-fits-all solutions — we reinforce the effective efforts that grassroots groups are already leading.

Key aspects of Resilio’s approach include:
Hyper-Local Action
Local communities are the first to respond, and they know their needs best. Resilio supports small community groups to help those who need it most.
Trust-Based Microgrants
By giving microgrants to these community groups, via local NGOs, we speed up relief efforts while ensuring resources are used where they are most needed.
Long-Term Resilience
By supporting communities over cycles of multiple microgrants, we see groups not just address immediate needs, but also build long-term resilience and self-sufficiency.
Communities are drivers of their own recovery. By supporting and trusting their efforts, Resilio Fund enables them to meet more people's needs and increase their long-term resilience.
