An anonymous donor directed $10 million to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell nonprofit via the powerful, Mountain View-based Silicon Valley Community Foundation.
whose honorary co-chairs include former presidents Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton and Jimmy Carter. Archewell’s impact report also clarifies that it wasn’t directly responsible for the resettlement of 174,497 refugees; rather this is the number of people resettled in the United States under these initiatives.One of Archewell’s grantees in refugee resettlement was, a veteran-led disaster relief organization based in El Segundo, in the Los Angeles area.
Another major focus of Archewell grants – a total of $900,000 – was to organizations that help build “a better online world.” That included a $250,000 grant to Harvard University’s Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society to address “urgent concerns” regarding online hate speech, harassment, misinformation and privacy, the impact report said.
Noble was an important talking head in the Sussexes’ Netflix docuseries “Harry and Meghan.” She backed up Harry and Meghan’s argument that the biracial American duchess was the target of particularly vicious online hate when she was living in the U.K. Noble talked about how a small but “highly coordinated and deeply networked” group of accounts were responsible for much of the racist tweets targeting Meghan.
Hugh Evans, CEO of Global Citizen, said the Vax Live campaign, with the Sussexes as co-chairs, mobilized more than 26 million COVID vaccine doses and raised more than $302 million for vaccine equity. “The Archewell Foundation’s unwavering commitment to social change and work to protect and advance equity, justice and human rights is truly inspiring,” Evans said in the Archewell report.
