Grants remain essential — but they can no longer do it alone. As humanitarian needs grow and traditional funding comes under increasing pressure, the sector needs new sources of capital, new partnerships, and new models that go further and last longer.
HIFHUB exists to make that shift happen — responsibly and at scale. Hosted by the Danish Red Cross and serving the entire Movement, we help build the investable project pipeline, the organisational capacity, and the cross-sector partnerships needed to move beyond grants. Not as an end in itself, but to enhance humanitarian impact for the people and communities who need it most.
We’re a dedicated team with experience across humanitarian response, finance, policy, and partnerships. We work closely with our network of collaborators to support projects and ideas that make a real difference.
HIFHUB is made possible through close collaboration with humanitarian organisations, institutional partners, and funders who share our vision. Together, we co-develop financial solutions, exchange knowledge, and advance innovative approaches that strengthen humanitarian response and impact. Their strategic and financial support enables us to drive lasting change in how humanitarian work is financed.
We go beyond traditional humanitarian funding models to turn bold ideas into tangible solutions with lasting impact.
We keep things clear and simple to make complex humanitarian finance accessible and actionable.
We forge partnerships across sectors to tackle humanitarian challenges together.
We focus on real-world impact to ensure innovative finance truly helps people in need.
We’re driven to meet growing humanitarian needs with smarter, more sustainable solutions. We believe that innovative finance can unlock impact and reshape how humanitarian work is funded.
