What Blumont does

Blumont is a private U.S. nonprofit organization (Blumont, Inc., incorporated in Virginia and headquartered at 1300 17th St N, Suite 1150, Arlington, VA) that delivers international humanitarian and development programming across 40+ countries in regions including the Middle East, West Africa, South Asia, the Balkans, South America, Eastern Europe, and the South Caucasus. Founded around 1998-2003 (sources differ), Blumont implements field-based programs across seven thematic areas: Humanitarian Assistance, Community Cohesion & Protection, Water/Sanitation/Hygiene (WASH), Livelihoods & Economic Development, Stabilization & Governance, Climate-smart Agriculture & Food Security, and Infrastructure & Essential Services. Beneficiaries are displaced populations, refugees, conflict-affected host communities, and other vulnerable groups; the organization reports 7+ million people reached over the past five years and 1.1 million people reached in 2024. Blumont is not a technology company and does not maintain a software or SaaS product; its "products" are programmatic interventions such as SAFER (Syria), Acogida (Colombia), Community-Based Protection (Jordan), and the Jenin Wastewater Management System (West Bank).

Blumont generates revenue almost entirely through government-funded development and humanitarian assistance contracts, primarily via competitive bidding on IDIQ vehicles held with USAID (Building Foundations, BRICC, SWIFT 6, B4T), the U.K. Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) Global Development Delivery Framework, the U.S. Department of Defense Humanitarian Assistance Program, and the U.S. Department of State DIPPS IDIQ. Pricing is determined through government procurement rather than commercial pricing, and revenue is project-based, typically multi-year. Blumont also partners with multilateral agencies — UNHCR (Za'atari Camp), World Food Programme (emergency food assistance), and IOM (Colombia migrant support) — as well as with other primes/subcontractors such as DT Global, Democracy International, ESG, Planate, and GIZ. The organization maintains a 99% local-hire workforce (501-1000 employees per firmographics) with substantial field presence in Syria, Iraq, Jordan, Yemen, Colombia, West Bank & Gaza, and Ukraine.

In September 2025, Blumont acquired Equal Access International (EAI), a media and civic participation organization, expanding its programmatic capabilities beyond traditional humanitarian and infrastructure work. The organization is led by President and CEO Jonathan Nash, with Laura Fogarty serving as Interim CFO and Velora Loughmiller as Chief Business Development Officer. The board is chaired by Richard D. George, with additional members including Mary Ann Hopkins, Kendra Davenport, Randa Fahmy, Ronni Goldfarb, Ashok Regmi, Fatema Sumar, Alison Taunton-Rigby, and Larry Warren.
