It is a rapid response fund for humanitarian crises, releasing aid within 72 hours.

How does the Start Fund decide on funding?

It follows a three-step process: crisis alert, fund allocation, and project selection.

It focuses on underfunded, impending, and chronic crises, including anticipatory pre-crisis funding.

This aims to empower local communities through regional funds and increased localization.
