đź’™ Support Volunteers Serving Refugee Communities
Make a Donor-Advised Fund (DAF) Contribution to RAMP Foundation
RAMP Foundation connects passionate volunteers with refugee resettlement centers across the United States. Historically, these agencies must rely on volunteers to help achieve their mission. Your gift helps us provide travel vouchers for short-term volunteers serving refugee children and families — covering their transportation, lodging, and meals so they can focus fully on their service.
Why RAMP Foundation?
Across the United States, refugee resettlement agencies are working tirelessly to welcome families fleeing war, persecution, and disaster. These agencies provide essential services — housing support, school enrollment, medical care, and emotional stabilization — often with limited staff and resources.
That’s where RAMP Foundation comes in. We strengthen the frontlines of refugee support by mobilizing trained volunteers to fill urgent staffing gaps in short-term assignments. Our focus is on child-centered placements, ensuring that refugee children receive care, mentoring, and advocacy during their most vulnerable moments of transition.
📉 A Growing Need: Federal Cuts, Local Consequences
In recent months, federal funding for refugee resettlement has been significantly reduced, placing additional strain on local agencies already stretched to capacity. These reductions have led to increased caseloads for limited staff and to delays in access to education, health care, and community integration.
Volunteers now play an indispensable role in maintaining the quality and reach of refugee support services — but many simply can’t afford to travel to where they’re most urgently needed.
That’s why your support matters. RAMP Foundation’s Volunteer Travel Voucher Program breaks down this barrier by providing prepaid vouchers for economy travel, modest lodging, and meals for volunteers serving on-site assignments up to four weeks long.
Why Give Through a Donor-Advised Fund?
Donor-Advised Funds (DAFs) are a strategic and tax-effective way to support the causes you care about. By recommending a grant to RAMP Foundation, you can:
•  Provide immediate, flexible support to high-need refugee sites
•  Help fund urgent, volunteer-powered services with no administrative overhead
•  Invest in real-world outcomes — meals served, children mentored, lives stabilized
