Rebuilding Alliance

What Rebuilding Alliance does

Rebuilding Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit humanitarian organization founded in 2003 and based in Redwood City, California. The organization was established by Cindy and Craig Corrie, parents of Rachel Corrie, and operates at the intersection of direct aid and advocacy focused on Palestinian rights. Programs are delivered through partnerships with Palestinian community-based organizations (CBOs) rather than direct in-country staff, enabling last-mile reach into Gaza and the West Bank.

The organization's portfolio spans emergency food relief (including a hot meals program that has delivered 22.5 million meals during the Gaza war), specialized medical nutrition support for PKU-affected children, Ramadan food drives, and a newly launched Gaza Darna Transitional Shelters program. A housing reconstruction initiative, Gaza Baytna, is operated jointly with MIDEAST Group using rubble recycling techniques, marking a move from emergency relief into longer-horizon rebuilding. Advocacy and donor engagement are carried out through the organization's website, recurring gift programs, and partnerships with platforms including GlobalGiving and LaunchGood, as well as with the United Nations World Food Programme for Ramadan 2024.

Rebuilding Alliance is funded entirely through charitable donations rather than commercial revenue. Gift tiers span $25 to several hundred dollars, with custom donations reported up to $100,000. The organization is staffed by 1-10 employees and relies materially on its CBO partner network for on-the-ground execution. Its underlying 'technology' is a partnership-driven humanitarian logistics model — program design, donor stewardship, and beneficiary coordination — with no proprietary software, AI systems, or technical platform disclosed.

• International Rescue Committee (IRC): Large U.S.-headquartered humanitarian organization responding to conflict crises globally, including in the Middle East. Comparable in emergency relief delivery model but at vastly larger institutional scale.
• UNRWA: UN agency specifically mandated to support Palestinian refugees across Gaza, West Bank, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. Operates the largest portfolio of comparable programs (food, education, health, shelter), serving as the broad incumbent benchmark.
• Direct Relief: Large humanitarian aid organization delivering medical and material assistance in crisis zones. Comparable in donation-driven model and conflict-zone logistics, though with a stronger medical-supply specialization.

Direct peers
