How We Use Funds

The Refugee Archive is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, approved in December 2025. We are in our first year of operations. All gifts go directly toward oral history collection, partner training, research, education, operations, and advocacy programs. Our 2026 Impact Report will be published in early 2027.

Six programs. One foundation.

Every program depends on operational continuity: five core staff, local partner fees, mobile data, transport, translation, and the training that enables ethical collection. Without that foundation, none of the work below happens.

FOUNDATION — OPERATIONAL CONTINUITY

Core staff · local partner fees · mobile data and transport · translation · field training · technology infrastructure

Oral History Collection

Field research, consent, recording, meals, and childcare during sessions, secure archiving.

Education portals & training

Partner curriculum, virtual training, MOUs

Media, events & outreach

Podcasts, webinars, UN events, art exhibitions

FHH policy tracker

Country analysis, student researchers, publications

Art of oral history

Artist cohorts, production, advocacy campaigns

Annual journal

Research, editorial review, publication

Why these six costs matter.

Every oral history requires local presence: a trusted partner, transport to reach women in displacement settings, mobile data for multi-hour recordings, and translation across multiple languages. Partners often provide meals and childcare during sessions so women can speak without interruption. Before a single interview is recorded, we build a relationship, sign an MOU, and train a partner team.

Our core team of five staff holds this infrastructure together. Without operational continuity, there are no stories, no policy analysis, no journal, and no training. Every gift helps keep that foundation in place as our programs grow.
