The Tent Partnership for Refugees, previously known as the Tent Foundation, is a non-profit organization founded by Hamdi Ulukaya, the founder and CEO of Chobani Yogurt. It is a coalition of businesses that have committed to take action to help refugees.
Established in 2016 and headquartered in New York City,[1] the organization brings together companies to improve the lives of refugees. The Tent Partnership encourages businesses to play a more active role in addressing the crisis by hiring refugees, integrating them into supply chains, supporting refugee entrepreneurs, and delivering services to them.[2]
In 2015, Chobani's CEO and founder, Hamdi Ulukaya, signed the Giving Pledge, committing to give the majority of his personal wealth to help end the global refugee crisis.[3] He founded the Tent Foundation for this purpose. In 2016, the Tent Foundation incorporated the private sector commitments announced in response to President Obama's 2016 Call to Action for Private Sector Engagement on the Global Refugee Crisis.[4]
