Our team
Our own field team works in the US, and our teams and local partners work around the world. From search and rescue, flood, fire and storm response to emergency relief in war zones, from food, health, water and winter relief to Our Furry Friends and wildlife, every part of our work is in the hands of people who have done it for years. Our logistics, procurement and records teams make sure aid reaches the right place on time. Our operations center, where we follow crises and record every delivery, is in Istanbul.
We have our own field team in the US. Our teams also work in Chad, Ethiopia, Palestine, Bangladesh, Indonesia, the Philippines, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Vietnam, Türkiye, Greece, Canada, Mexico and Australia. We have local partners in 48 countries, and this network grows every day. You can see them all on the map above.
Our headquarters is in Delaware. Our operations centers are in Istanbul, Gaza and N'Djamena. We run logistics and coordination for Southeast Asia from Ho Chi Minh City, our work in Indonesia from Bali, and coordination and distribution for the Asia Pacific from Sydney.
Our colleagues and partners often work in dangerous places. Keeping their names private protects them and the families they serve. If you are a corporate donor and would like to know more, simply write to us. We will gladly reply through a secure channel.
All of them come from the field, from our own work. We always ask for permission before taking a photo, and we hold the dignity of families above everything else.
In the field
We follow disasters around the world in real time through official sources. When a major disaster strikes, our first step is to reach our team and field partner in that region. Together we assess the need on the ground, buy locally whenever we can and hand aid to families ourselves.
Yes. In a disaster zone, our team works alongside local responders to reach people under rubble, cut off by floods or fleeing a fire. A gift for search and rescue equipment goes straight into this work.
Before we begin working with a partner, we get to know them closely. We look at what they have done before, how they are known in the region and who trusts them. We screen our partners and their managers against sanctions lists regularly. In the field, our team stays beside them.
This is one of the things we care about most. We get to know a partner well before we start working together. We screen our partners and their managers against US and international sanctions lists regularly. We collect beneficial ownership (BOI) information from them and pass these records to the authorities. We never work in sanctioned regions.
The dignity of families and children comes before everything else for us. We always ask for permission before taking a photo. We also have a comprehensive written child protection policy, and our work in the field is guided by it.
Leadership and trust
Our foundation is governed by a board of directors. Our founders cover most of the foundation's running costs from their own means. For their safety, we do not publish the names of our team and partners on our website. If your company or organization would like to know more about our board and team, we will gladly provide this information through a secure channel.
Our real costs are far higher than the 8% set aside from donations. Our founders gladly cover the difference from their own means. That is how 92% of your gift goes straight to the field.
Throughout the day, we screen our donors, partners and suppliers against five official lists. They are the US Treasury's two OFAC lists, the US Commerce Department's Consolidated Screening List, and the UN Security Council and UK lists. The lists are refreshed in full every week. We never work with any sanctioned person or organization.
You can search our EIN (35-2882867) in the IRS Tax Exempt Organization Search. Our Candid profile shows our 2026 Platinum Seal of Transparency, and the Delaware registry lists our legal name, No Name Foundation.
Simply write to us through our contact details. We will read your question carefully and reply with care. If you need more information for your review, we will gladly provide it through a secure channel.
