Sunbird is a U.S.-registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit that supports Palestinian-led initiatives in independent media, research, and youth leadership. We focus on strengthening informed participation, resilient communities, and long-term civic leadership.

We support projects and organizations working in:

• Independent and ethical media

• Community-based research and knowledge production

• Youth leadership and civic engagement

All initiatives are locally led and rooted in community needs.

We work through careful assessment, relationships with trusted partners, and alignment with our mission. We prioritize initiatives with strong community ties, clear goals, and long-term impact potential.

We believe sustainable impact comes from local leadership. Palestinian communities are best positioned to define their priorities, tell their own stories, and shape their futures.

Donations support:

• Program funding for partner initiatives

• Capacity building and long-term development

• Research, learning, and strategic coordination

We aim to use funds responsibly and transparently.

Yes. Sunbird is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, and donations are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law.

Sunbird primarily works by supporting and strengthening existing initiatives rather than duplicating efforts. In some cases, we also facilitate collaboration, learning, and shared resources across initiatives.
