Building @RelayFunder, I keep coming back to @Gitcoin as a north star, $67M raised for projects and still evolving, so impressive. Loved hearing about both your journeys @owocki & @RJPinnell . Long-term commitment is the real moat. 👊

This is exactly the gap Relay Funder exists to address. When humanitarian need grows faster than traditional funding can respond, we need new funding mechanisms...faster, more transparent, community-led, and resilient by design.

Wars and climate shocks are accelerating displacement. In 2026, the humanitarian challenge isn’t just scale, it’s trust, governance, and how aid moves. Sobering analysis @newhumanitarian thenewhumanitarian.org/analy…
