Gabriel (Global) Foundation
ABOUT ABOUT ABOUT
We are registered as Gabriel Foundation ETS, an Italian nonprofit operating at the intersection of human connection and humanitarian funding. But the work has never stayed inside a border.
Gabriel Foundation is our registered name. Gabriel Global is our declaration, that compassion does not stop at a border, and neither does this work.
The organizations we partner with span continents. The communities they serve cross boundaries. The donors who believe in this work live across the world. And the conviction at the heart of everything we do, that what happens to one person happens to all of us, has never recognized a limit.
Returning Humanity to the Act of Giving.
Some of Our Funding Partners:
In a world where institutional trust is eroding and the funding sector has become impersonal, entangled, and full of conditions, Gabriel (Global) Foundation is reimagining what it means to give.
We are a Collaborative (Global) Funding Organization, boutique by design and relational by nature. (We are the messenger of Good News.)
We find extraordinary, community-rooted organizations doing profound humanitarian work, the ones chronically overlooked by large institutions, free from government entanglement, and quietly changing the world from the inside out, and we resource them through relationship and our ongoing presence.
How We Work: Connecting compassionate hearts to meaningful causes
We are not a traditional grantmaking institution. We are something rarer and, we believe, more necessary: a funding partner that moves through human connection rather than red tape, that stays involved long after the contribution is made, and that treats the act of giving as something sacred.
The Gabriel Foundation operates across four areas of impact: Education, Safe Haven, Community Care, and Collective Action, each grounded in a shared belief that all humanitarian work deserves funding and that the character of an organization matters just as much as the category of its cause.
The big brands had all the money. The small brands had all the soul. And no one was handing the second group a big enough microphone. [Enter me, stage left]
Our Mission
Gabriel Foundation ETS exists to return human connection to the funding sector of nonprofit work, to make sure the extraordinary humans already changing the world have the resources, freedom, and funding to keep going.
Compassion in Action.
We are driven by a vision where compassion moves freely. Where every person who longs to act on their values has a trusted place to do so. Where the organizations doing the most essential humanitarian work on the ground have the funding to do it without compromise. And where the act of giving has been restored to its most essential form, a human hand, extended in trust.
Our Culture & Values
Compassion without accountability is sentiment. Giving without relationship is transaction. The Gabriel Foundation is built on the conviction that how we give matters as much as what we give, and that the values beneath the work are what make it last.
Trust & Transparency
Our Culture & Values
Compassion without accountability is sentiment. Giving without relationship is transaction. The Gabriel Foundation is built on the conviction that how we give matters as much as what we give, and that the values beneath the work are what make it last.
In a culture of misinformation, personal connection and verified impact matter more than ever.
Our Values
The Ground Beneath Everything We Do
Compassionate Action
Not compassion as a feeling, but compassion as a practice. As something lived and enacted in the world.
Community
In every sense of the word... The organizations we partner with, the donors we grow with, the local communities we serve, and the global network we are building.
Global Mindset
There is a responsibility that comes with being a global citizen, the dissolution of borders and barriers in how we approach each other. Rooted in the spiritual value of oneness: what happens to one, happens to all.
Together, Hector and Deborah founded Gabriel Foundation on a simple but radical belief, that inner practice without outer expression is incomplete, and that generosity is most powerful when it moves through relationship.
