The Nathalie And Samuel Stein Foundation
This organization is a private foundation dedicated to supporting refugees and asylum seekers worldwide. Its mission centers on providing vital services and advocating for the fundamental rights of these populations, enabling them to rebuild their lives. In its most recent activities, the foundation made a grant to HIAS, an organization focused on refugee support and assistance programs. The foundation is currently in its final operational year and is not accepting new applications for funding.

Ideal Applicant
An established refugee- or asylum-focused charity that can make use of a small, one-time unrestricted gift and that has an existing relationship or referral into the foundation's network.
Good Fit
- • Clear mission alignment with refugee and asylum seeker services.
- • Capacity to manage and acknowledge a small one-off grant (~$1,000).
- • Existing personal or professional connection to the foundation officer or listed contact.
- • Ability to accept out-of-state gifts (foundation made an out-of-state award).
Geography
Observed giving in the latest year was limited to a single state (the single recorded grant went to Maryland), indicating a narrowly observed geographic footprint.
Recipient Variety
In the latest year the foundation funded only one distinct recipient, so the observed recipient set is very small.
New Applicants
Direct evidence of recipient turnover is unavailable because only one year is observed, and the filing explicitly states that no applications will be accepted in the foundation's final year, so unfamiliar applicants are unlikely to be able to enter the portfolio.
