National partners

UNHCR’s eleven national association partners channel the generosity of private sector income from corporations, foundations, philanthropists and millions of individual donors globally.

Entrusted with UNHCR’s name, logo, and brand, they mobilize resources and awareness on its behalf for forcibly displaced and stateless people.

Each national partner is established as an independent, non-governmental organization in the country where it operates. UNHCR’s eleven national partners are present in Argentina, Australia, Germany, Japan, New Zealand, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America.

Income from national partners

In 2024, UNHCR’s eleven national association partners transferred $358 million, with 68% provided as flexible funding. This amount includes $8.5 million from public sources. Together, they engaged over 1.7 million individual donors as well as corporations, foundations and philanthropists, delivering 55% of all private sector income and 21% of UNHCR’s unearmarked contributions. Three partners – España con ACNUR, USA for UNHCR, and Japan for UNHCR – ranked among UNHCR’s top 20 donors.
