History
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. 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.
The Tent Partnership for Refugees was launched in 2016 at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The inaugural members of the Tent Alliance included Airbnb, Becton Dickinson, Chobani, Cotopaxi, Henry Schein, the IKEA Foundation, Johnson & Johnson, LinkedIn, MasterCard, Pearson, UPS, and Western Union. Since 2016, the Tent Partnership for Refugees has grown to over 500 major companies — including Amazon, DHL Group, Hilton, LinkedIn, L'Oréal, Marriott International, PepsiCo, Pfizer, Starbucks, and TD Bank.

Why this record matters
“Tent Partnership for Refugees” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Tent, Partnership and Refugees provides the most credible route into that argument.
Chronology, provenance and viewpoint should be read together before a broad social or political interpretation is accepted. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 15, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q28401598. None of the 2 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2016 and 2015.
Official terminology may obscure informal participation, dissent or communities documented only indirectly. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
