Grantmaker Boston, MA EIN: 20-2061482 Website

Refugepoint partners with refugees to access life-changing solutions and transforms how the world supports them. Refugepoint seeks to expand access to lasting solutions for refugees, especially those facing vulnerabilities who are underserved by aid systems. We expand access to long-term solutions for refugees through self-reliance, resettlement, and other pathways to safety. Refugepoint focuses on refugee populations that are at-risk, particularly those that are chronically underserved by the larger aid systems including women, children, the lgbtqi+ community, those with special medical needs, survivors of violence, and urban refugees. Through our programs we deliver services for immediate protection and to support self-reliance, build sector-wide capacity by sharing knowledge and resources to expand solutions for refugees and influence global policy and practice to transform refugee response systems to drive large scale change.
