Distribute Aid

Founded in 2019, Distribute Aid has grown into Europe's largest grassroots logistics organisation. We improve how aid is sourced, delivered, and distributed so as to achieve a greater collective impact in serving the needs of displaced and otherwise disadvantaged people. We have coordinated over 80 shipments of humanitarian aid and worked with 140+ small charities and organisations in 12 countries across Europe, Lebanon, and the United States of America. Our mission is to provide for basic human needs at scale by connecting communities and empowering people to uphold human dignity. Our approach is to build open-access physical and digital infrastructure that any humanitarian aid organisation can use, with an emphasis on supporting local grassroots organisations access large-scale infrastructure to carry out their mission. We run our own open-offer 4th party logistics services to support everyone in our extensive grassroots network, which includes needs assessments and aid matching services. We are a highly collaborative and transparent organisation that helps our partners grow their own efforts by sharing information, resources, and decision-making. Our impact has led to a 2.5x efficiency gain across our supply chain by increasing coordination, reducing costs, saving volunteer time, and preventing waste. Every $1 we spend on administration, projects, and logistics delivers $88 worth of aid to frontline organisations. We are a non-profit, non-political Swedish-registered charity with registration number #802521-4456.
