Capital is the oxygen to all industries. The iDAC Foundation is connecting the industry to advance a more inclusive marketplace.

The IDAC Foundation recognizes the importance of capital as the oxygen to all industries. Each industry's diverse needs and uses of capital vary, requiring a solution to synchronize the myriad of efforts across stakeholders. At the IDAC Foundation, we are committed to connecting the industry to advance:

- Financial Literacy: through partnerships and new programs, we acknowledge the full life cycle of financial literacy training and education needed to reduce wealth inequality. From early childhood education efforts to adult financial wellness programs, our goal is to ensure financial literacy becomes a fundamental right for all. 
- Financial Career Paths: we partner with various diverse intern and career path programs to generate a more inclusive workforce. Since entry level roles in financial services tend to start at higher income levels, we are investing time into programs and partnerships that train more underrepresented communities for a career in financial services, while creating mentoring programs for mid to late-stage leaders to take on roles as asset owners, chief of investment officers, trustees, board of directors, as an example.  
- Resource Sharing: we provide free thought leadership programming and research  to amplify data to leaders and institutions to make informed decisions on the state of underrepresented communities while tracking progress for a more inclusive ecosystem.

Her Initiative breaks the cycle of poverty and fosters financial resilience among adolescent girls and young women in Tanzania.

Our Story, Our Evolution

In 2016, Her Initiative took root, fully blossoming into action in July 2019, propelled by a visionary team led by Lydia Charles Moyo. This group of young women embarked on a mission to champion the economic independence of girls and young women, aiming to redefine their narrative and establish a ‘new normal’.



Lydia's personal journey as a young woman striving for financial independence fueled the organization's inception. Her own experiences inspired a commitment to seeking solutions not only for herself but for other young women facing similar financial constraints. Today, Her Initiative stands as a testament to a girl who empowers herself to confront social and economic challenges. Lydia's initial motivation stemmed from witnessing her peers drop out of school due to poverty, child marriage, and early pregnancies. In 2012, she rallied fellow high school girls, sparking self-awareness campaigns and events on girls' rights and relevant laws across more than 10 schools in Dar es Salaam. Transitioning to university, Lydia spearheaded entrepreneurship campaigns like Panda events, fostering knowledge on entrepreneurship and facilitating connections with successful industry leaders.



Target group

Our work supports and prioritizes girls and young women and girls with limited economic opportunities in formal and informal labour markets, excluded from productive markets, and with increased economic vulnerability due to marginalization. We primarily work with and support women who are micro-entrepreneurs (often in the informal sector), small-scale producers, workers in the formal and informal sectors, and financially excluded women.



Mission

To promote financial resilience and digital inclusion amongst girls and young women and enable them to challenge oppressive and discriminatory practices.



Vision

We envision an inclusive society where adolescent girls and young women have the power to choose and create opportunities for themselves and others.



Our Strategic Objectives



Strategic Objective 1

To pursue women’s economic empowerment agenda that is inclusive through greater agency, equal opportunities, access, and control over resources.

Strategic Objective 2

To promote women’s economic empowerment at the national level within the context of SRHR and GBV.

Strategic Objective 3

Build a sustainable, resilient, and competent organization that supports our efforts towards realizing Her Initiative’s vision, mission, and strategic goals.



Our Theory of Change

IF an inclusive environment is provided; IF women’s agency and capacity to influence financial and economic decision-making, at both individual level and collectively, is enhanced; IF women’s productive role is recognized and aspirations to become financially independent are respected by the entire society; THEN women will have a voice in decision making and equal access to and control over resources which ultimately will contribute to achieving equal benefits for their economic contribution, gender equality and poverty reduction.



Our Approach

At the core of our mission lies a strategic fusion of economic empowerment and technology, catalyzing the dismantling of socioeconomic barriers that impede the boundless potential of young women and girls. Our strategies are meticulously crafted to foster a transformative environment, propelling these beneficiaries towards the realization of their fullest capabilities:



1. Girls Agency Empowerment

Our foremost initiative revolves around instilling self-efficacy in young women, nurturing their understanding of rights and amplifying their voices. This empowering approach not only equips them to advocate for their rights but also enables them to champion the needs of fellow young women within their communities.



2. Skills Development

Through targeted training and mentorship programs, we embark on a journey of mindset and skills transformation among young women. This strategic investment elevates their capabilities, empowering them to pursue financial freedom with resilience and confidence.



3. Linkages to Resources and Opportunities

We strategically forge connections between young women and essential economic resources. This ensures that they not only have access to opportunities but also the support necessary to harness their potential and navigate the path to financial independence.



4. Creation of an Enabling Environment

Through concerted collective efforts and advocacy, we champion socio-economic policies and laws that remove barriers obstructing young women from exercising their economic rights and securing their Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR). By creating an enabling environment, we pave the way for a more equitable and inclusive society.

At the heart of Her Initiative is a commitment to amplify the ideas of young women and girls, ensuring our solutions are not only impactful but tailored to the real needs of the community. By investing in our cause, you become a vital part of a movement that empowers young women and girls, reshaping the future of Tanzania—one girl at a time. Join us in fostering a world where no girl is limited by circumstance, and every idea contributes to meaningful change.

Gen E seeks the evolution towards conscious and transformative practices of socio-economic reality.

The GEN E Foundation, established in 2014 by a group of young professionals in Córdoba, is recognized as an incubator by the National Secretariat of Entrepreneurship and SMEs. Incubating over 80 ventures (with more than 140 entrepreneurs), over 70% of which are women-led, the foundation boasts a survival rate exceeding 60%. Through talks, workshops, training, and simulations, more than 2500 individuals have benefited. The foundation focuses on impact and social economy entrepreneurs, along with entities aiming to stimulate social and environmental impact. Their efforts center around entrepreneurial support programs, fostering alliances, and providing consultancy/project management for companies and institutions.



The mission of the Gen E Foundation is clearly revealed: "to be the seed of a better world by training, accompanying and multiplying sustainable and regenerative entrepreneurship". Our interpretation of sustainability incorporates the concept of "triple impact", merging environmental, social and economic aspects. We always persist in the principle of "leaving no one behind".



The Gen E Foundation is driven by the powerful purpose of promoting conscious models of production and consumption in Latin America, aiming to foster sustainable and regenerative businesses for a better and fairer world. Positioned as change agents, Gen E combines transformational leadership with sustainability to effect tangible change. The foundation takes responsibility for connecting diverse actors in inclusive, human-centered socio-economic ecosystems, recognizing the essential role of the private sector in achieving the goals of a more sustainable world, crucial for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).



Our vision is: "To become a benchmark for sustainable development in Latin America, with people at the center". We accompany those who undertake with a deep purpose, aware that their actions will reverberate in their own lives and in the community at large. Recognising the risks of ignoring environmental and social aspects, we assume an irrevocable commitment to integral sustainability.



The GEN E Foundation has three main lines of action, which are the framework for our recurring activities. Below is a description of each of the axes with past and planned future activities



1-GEN E ACADEMY



GEN E Academy is a unit dedicated to strengthening ventures with a focus on social and environmental impact. Through this unit, we help ventures with a focus on socio-environmental impact to grow. We do this through two distinct but complementary programmes, "Impact Business Incubation" and "Winay - Inclusive Business Space", which target two different beneficiary audiences.



1.A.Impact Business Incubation



Established in 2014, this incubator is dedicated to promoting impact entrepreneurship, emphasizing social and environmental well-being alongside economic development, irrespective of the applicants' vulnerability. The initiative supports change leaders working towards just causes aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). 

Specializing in non-financial support tools and facilitating links to funding sources, the program focuses on developing and strengthening sustainable business models. Recognized by the Córdoba Innovate and Entrepreneur Agency in 2017 and 2021, it was selected to participate in the "Córdoba Incuba Empresas" program. Moreover, the incubator holds official recognition as an incubator from the National Ministry of Production under registration number 390.

To date, the incubator has supported more than 50 ventures through training, mentoring, coaching, networking spaces, support in applying for funding, links with investors, business linkages, among other opportunities offered. The survival rate of the projects supported is slightly above 70%. The incubator has had 8 editions from 2015 to 2023. This year our institution's goal is to promote impact investment. Starting with a program of investment readiness  , made in alliance with 3 impact venture capital. The program will strengthen  entrepreneurs valuation, impact measurement and their pitch to investors. We are also developing our own impact fund, so we can develop an impact accelerator. 



1.B. WINAY - ESPACIO DE NEGOCIOS INCLUSIVOS (WINAY - INCLUSIVE BUSINESS SPACE)



Winay specializes in supporting entrepreneurs in vulnerable contexts by transferring knowledge, experience, and connections from its impact incubator work. The objective is to assist entrepreneurs who share similar values but lack social and economic capital or necessary support due to vulnerability. Leveraging the impact incubator's experience, Winay identifies mentors, coordinates connections, incorporates tutors, and implements monitoring tools.

The program seeks to democratize access to entrepreneurial benefits for those in vulnerable contexts, integrating them into business value chains. It includes a personal strengthening component, addressing spirituality, motivation, life purpose, and physical and mental health monitoring. This component is vital, addressing aspects often overlooked by existing support programs.

Winay aims to serve as an "inclusive business laboratory," connecting social economy entrepreneurs with companies seeking these projects as suppliers. The goal is to improve the survival rate of social economy projects by providing opportunities for links, training, support, empowerment, and resource access for entrepreneurs in their enterprises, cooperatives, and productive units.



First edition Winay (2021-2022): has worked with 100 productive enterprises and organizations, providing them with weekly training in business skills, presentation and social networks, mainly, creating a community and spaces to sell their products. Ten of them received personalized support, and two of these ten became cooperatives, managing to sell their products directly to companies such as Coca-Cola, Quilmes and Hipermercados Libertad.



Second edition Winay (2022-2023): In its latest edition (2022-2023), Winay conducted 47 high-impact training sessions, with 10 in-person and the remainder virtual. Emphasizing digital inclusion, the program provided computers and specific training in IT tools. The total training duration was 90 hours, benefiting nearly 100 ventures. Ten of these received personalized support, including coaching, mentoring, and specialized training. Beyond training, the support involved tailored advice and continuous follow-up, addressing the specific needs of each project.



Third edition Winay (2023-2024): In its third edition, the primary objective of the program is to generate authentic job opportunities. To accomplish this, the focus is on organizations with financial stability that have been operating for over a year and express the intent to grow. The initiative believes that creating an impact, particularly in underprivileged neighborhoods, is accomplished through empowerment and the creation of employment opportunities. Currently in the recruitment stage, the program has received 25 applications and is scheduled to commence in April.

Kiva powers a global movement to expand financial access for a world where all people hold the power to improve their lives.

**1.4B people lack access to basic financial services. We believe financial access should not be a privilege for some, but a right for all.**

Kiva is a nonprofit that envisions an equitable world where everyone, regardless of economic circumstances, has the opportunity to thrive. Kiva helps underserved communities access and use financial services with confidence and independence while building resilience to financial shocks. With financial inclusion, alongside improved financial literacy and skills, people can start and grow businesses, invest in their local economies, and build assets that improve generational outcomes for families and communities.

**By supporting Kiva, you support someone else’s dreams.**

Learn more about [our impact](https://kiva.org/impact) and how we're reaching populations most overlooked by traditional financial institutions, including:

- [Underbanked women](https://www.kiva.org/gender-equality): Globally, over 740 million women lack access to financial services due to systemic gender biases, collateral requirements, and restrictive societal norms or laws. Kiva addresses these barriers by prioritizing women borrowers, with over 80% of our loans supporting women, and robust programs to help our partners adopt gender-forward policies and products.
- [Refugees and displaced people](https://www.kiva.org/impact/refugees): With over 100 million individuals displaced by conflict and disasters—a number expected to rise—access to capital is crucial for rebuilding lives, yet traditional financial service providers view refugees as too risky. Since 2016, Kiva has extended loans to refugees with a 97% repayment rate, dispelling myths and breaking through systemic barriers.
- [Systemically marginalized communities in the U.S.](https://www.kiva.org/impact/systemically-marginalized-communities)[ystemically marginalized communities in the U.S.](https://www.kiva.org/lp/us-impact): There are significant gaps in capital access for marginalized U.S. entrepreneurs. Since 2011, Kiva has supported 10,000 borrowers (of which 72% are BIPOC) with 0-interest, 0-fee loans. Our data shows that 76% of borrowers could not secure funding elsewhere, highlighting Kiva's role as a critical financial lifeline for small businesses. 
- [Communities impacted by climate change](https://www.kiva.org/impact/climate-affected-people): Climate change hits low-income communities hardest, exacerbating their vulnerability. Kiva supports these communities, particularly smallholder farmers, by providing resources to adapt and build resilience against environmental challenges.

An organization focused on providing hands-on learning for the overlooked in Mauritania. It received its nonprofit status in 2023.

Barakah Yields is a social impact company whose purpose is to generate opportunities, providing hands-on upskilling programs that will enable our members from overlooked communities to become active agents of the 21st century economy in Mauritania and the Saharan Africa region. 

I started this organization to address a widespread problem that I have witnessed first hand, that is the lack of education opportunities for those at the bottom of the socio-economic ladder. Nearly 57% of the Mauritanian population lives in multidimensional poverty, and this is exacerbated by the lack of education and employment opportunities for the youth. 

Similar to the broader African population, 60% of Mauritania's the population is less than 25 years old, and an outstanding 44% of those aged between 14 and 35 are neither professionally active, enrolled in school nor in vocational training. The situation is much harder for women who make up more than half of the working-age population in the country of approximately five million people.

The Center for Multidisciplinary Investigation Into Novel Discoveries & Solutions: reviving the next path of psychedelic research

In the early days of psychedelics in the West, they were seen as tools for enhancing the mind, fostering creativity, and generating innovative solutions in various fields. Research flourished until the 1960s when criminalization halted progress.

Now, The Center for Multidisciplinary Investigation Into Novel Discoveries & Solutions (MINDS), a 501(c)(3) research organization, is building an international coalition of support and leading thinkers to bring this 'next path' of psychedelic research, and eventual strong protocols and practices, back on-line.

Help get MINDS off the ground by [signing up](https://centerforminds.org/) to stay informed on our progress and discover ways to actively engage, sharing your story through our [survey](https://centerforminds.org/survey/), or contributing to our cause with a donation of any amount. 

Be part of a revolution in psychedelic-assisted innovation.

**How Your Support Will Enable Our Explorations**

- **Landscape Map**: Gather insights from those who've used psychedelics and mindfulness practices for creativity and problem-solving. Analyze the data and publish the findings to contribute valuable insights to the scientific community and the public. This initial map will also guide our future research endeavors.
- **Research Study**: Sponsor a groundbreaking research study with world-class scientists exploring the effectiveness of psychedelic-assisted practices for innovation.
- **Outreach & Engagement**: Develop a comprehensive public communications campaign and outreach initiatives to disseminate research findings and engage a broader audience in discussions around the potential impact of psychedelic-assisted innovation. 
- **Conference**: Organize our first conference to bring together solutionists, researchers, and the intellectually curious. Provide a platform for sharing research outcomes, facilitating discussions, and building a supportive network within the MINDS community.

Genius may be one molecule away, and we can all use a bit more of it these days.

We disrupt the most entrenched systemic inequities women face in the entrepreneurial ecosystem and investment landscape.

digitalundivided, founded in 2012, is a leading nonprofit organization focused on disrupting systemic inequities in the entrepreneurial ecosystem. Through the use of data, innovative programs, intentional networks, and strategic advocacy, it builds equitable pathways to women founders, particularly for women of color, and addresses long-standing barriers to success in entrepreneurship.

One of the organization’s most influential contributions has been its research, notably the groundbreaking ProjectDiane report, which was the first to highlight the state of Black and Latina women founders. This historic research continues to drive digitalundivided’s expanded efforts, which have sparked global conversations on inclusion and equity in entrepreneurship.

digitalundivided runs several key programs—START, BIG Pre-Accelerator, BREAKTHROUGH, Do You Fellowship, and the New C-Suite—that provide essential resources, advisory services, and investments to support founders throughout their entrepreneurial journeys. While based in the U.S., its reach and impact have extended globally, resonating with over 250,000 people through its extensive ecosystem and over $750.000 in grants distributed to support women-led businesses.

The organization’s mission centers on breaking down entrenched systemic inequities in entrepreneurship, using a multipronged approach that includes data-driven programming, a supportive network of mentors and allies, and a commitment to systemic change. With more than a decade of experience, it has directly served over 1,500 founders and continues to foster economic independence and resilience through its ongoing work.

In the next three years, digitalundivided aims to expand its influence even further. Its goal is to triple its network of global capital partners, integrate its entrepreneurs into deal flows, and drive a 30% increase in women founders engaged in its programs. The organization has also invested in professional development and infrastructure to deliver more holistic support for founders, leveraging insights from its research to meet the needs of an evolving entrepreneurial landscape.

Through its hybrid approach—combining virtual accessibility with in-person engagement—digitalundivided remains at the forefront of inclusive innovation. Its continued commitment to research-backed programming ensures its offerings remain relevant and impactful, positioning the organization as a key driver of systemic change in the entrepreneurial space.

SFI's mission is to provide resources, education, and funding that empowers community small businesses to create economic growth

A Visionary on a Mission for Global Change.
Meet Rory Sparrow, a remarkable individual whose journey from a successful career as a professional basketball player and NBA League Executive has led him to a new, inspiring mission. His experiences in diverse communities across the globe have fueled his passion for making the world a better place.

Through his travels, Rory has witnessed the best and worst of humanity, but one unwavering belief has guided his life's purpose: the boundless human potential to enhance the quality of life. With the establishment of the Sparrow Foundation Institute, Rory Sparrow is putting this belief into action, embarking on a mission to "enhance the quality of life" by harnessing the power of green energy solutions to empower communities from within.
Read Rory's Complete Letter to the Public at https://sparrowfoundationinstitute.org/sfi-founder-team/

Where is SFI needed? Underserved Communities

Rory Sparrow recognizes that underserved communities, both in the United States and around the world, face significant barriers to adopting renewable energy. It's a matter of cost and infrastructure, with limited resources and logistics preventing the widespread adoption of clean technology.

In these underserved communities, basic necessities like clean water, heating, refrigeration, reliable energy, and sustainable agriculture are often lacking. The absence of these fundamental resources results in a heavy reliance on low-cost solutions that produce high levels of carbon emissions.

The Sparrow Foundation Institute is structured to operate self-sufficiently within these local underserved communities globally. This approach prevents SFI from competing for resources with other organizations and provides a scalable business model that can be easily expanded and managed through a network of motivated new businesses.

SFI's operational costs are covered by local distribution efforts, enabled by the adoption of SFI products and services. These products offer simple installation by community members, compliance with local, state, and federal regulations, the creation of local jobs and educational opportunities, and long-term sustainable community energy plans.

SFI Funding & Partners

To fulfill its mission, SFI seeks financial support from global governments, organizations, and individual donors. Additionally, nonprofit and commercial partners work closely with SFI to achieve its objectives.

The heart of SFI's strength lies in the resources donated by its volunteers. Their time, enthusiasm, and efforts are essential to the success of SFI's global mission to secure a renewable future together.

SFI's advantage begins with its global partners, financial backers, and dedicated volunteers. Through an aggressive campaign, SFI is bringing green technology jobs and opportunities to underserved communities, offering a fresh perspective within the emerging renewable energy market sector.

Community Outreach

Global acceptance of clean energy products is all about developing cleaner and leaner technologies that promote partnerships, change, and acceptance. SFI aims to improve the way these products are designed, made, delivered, and used, ultimately providing local resources, greater value, performance, and product support.

SFI's core efforts are centered around providing solutions to areas around the world that have limited access and resources for renewable energy and clean water but possess an abundance of human resources eager to be part of the renewable energy market.

Building a Sustainable Community Through Shared Knowledge

SFI introduces a transformative approach to the adoption and implementation of renewables. By inviting communities to take ownership of a renewable plan tailored to their needs, they can influence the global environment from a local perspective.

Education is key at the community level, as SFI aims to educate individuals about the benefits of clean, renewable energy. Through a global network of volunteer participation, the SFI Network offers hands-on learning opportunities to develop valuable skills and contribute to climate action.

Through leadership, partnerships, investments, and action, SFI empowers community leaders to take direct control over the renewable system they identify as essential for their target market. This approach not only reduces carbon emissions but also fosters the creation of new jobs, products, and services that benefit our global sustainable future.

Creation of Jobs & Opportunities in Remote Areas

Renewable energy represents a significant source of potential jobs and rural growth worldwide, addressing environmental and energy security concerns. SFI is dedicated to creating local renewable jobs and industry training opportunities by directly investing in each community that adopts a plan to reduce long-term carbon emissions through the adoption and implementation of renewable energy products and services.

Rory Sparrow and the Sparrow Foundation Institute are on a mission to make a lasting impact. Their vision extends far beyond words, and they're turning it into action, one community at a time, creating a brighter, greener, and more sustainable future for all.

We support SMEs to adopt future-friendly practices, address growth challenges, and create jobs for development in Africa. 

At Footprints Africa we are on a mission to create 100,000 living wage jobs in the circular economy across Africa over the next 5 years​. Founded in 2017, we focus on pioneering B-Corp programming in Ghana, and de-risking the circular economy transition across the entire African continent. ​Our strength lies in how we support businesses leaders to adopt future-friendly practices and evidence the benefits of purpose-led business.  ​What makes us different? We work with leaders who focus on context. And we believe in the power of African innovation to demonstrate models that will work for the rest of the world.  ​

With emphasis on practical action over the theoretical, we focus on 5 things: ​
1. Business support programmes: We deliver 2-6 month B-Corp and circular programmes to transform mindsets, behaviour and impact.​
2. Circularity impact measurement: We work with circular businesses to prove how their models are superior to linear alternatives.​
3. Collaborative problem solving: We meet the need for innovative and supportive approaches to solve tough industry-wide challenges. ​
4. Waste audits: We support organisations at all stages of their journey to zero waste.​
5. Applied research: We bring deeper insights adapted to African realities.​

Some highlights of our work: 
B-Corp: we have supported over 135 businesses directly, empowering 3,000 informal workers, with a particular focus on female-owned businesses.  ​
Mapping the circular economy: We built the most comprehensive, open-access database of over 500 circular businesses in Africa.​
Measuring: From our work with circular businesses we have produced a ‘how to’ measurement guide.    ​
Reporting: We have published three case study reports, two of which have focused high potential circular sectors: regenerative agriculture and the built environment, giving some 80 business insights.  ​
Collaborative problem-solving: we have run a series of public catalytic question sessions (‘hotseats’) with 170 participants across Africa and beyond to unlock 12 circular business challenges.   ​
Circular economy action plan devised for Ghana.​

Our goal for the next 5yrs​ is to train 100 social impact companies, leading to:​
1. 60 companies reduce Scope 1&2 emissions​
2. 5 companies achieve Zero Waste​
3. 2000 informal workers improve incomes & reduce vulnerability*​
4. £250,000 disbursed to support local leaders refine their solutions to social & environmental challenges, over 60% provided to projects specifically targeting women​
5. 150 local experts trained in leadership (CEOs, local partners, sustainability professionals)​
6. 5,000 hours of training for our local team​
7. 100 young people trained in leadership, critical analysis & sustainable practices​
- 50 participate in our University Research Challenge​
- 50 pass through our Fellowship programme​

Haiti Partners helps Haitians change Haiti through education. 

Haiti Partners' mission is to "help Haitians change Haiti through education." We accomplish this through offering innovative, quality education for over 1500 students in six partner schools and our flagship school, the Children’s Academy and Learning Center. The Children’s Academy is an integrated school, continuing education center, and incubator for entrepreneurship programming. It works hand-in-glove with our partner schools to provide a high quality, student-centered, values-based education, and seeks to serve as a model of education-centered community development for Haiti and the world. In order for Haiti to address its many challenges, its children (and committed parents) need to experience an innovative, quality education – an education that empowers them to develop their potential, to think outside the box and to engage in improving their communities to bring lasting change. This is Haiti Partners’ vision and this is the work that we engage in each day within the communities in which we work.

The problem: In Kenya, women are significantly disadvantaged both socially and economically. 

About Buildher The problem: In Kenya, women are significantly disadvantaged both socially and economically. Over half the female population lives below the poverty line ($3.10/day), less than 50% of girls are educated beyond primary school level, and young women in urban areas are more likely to be unemployed than any other group. Meanwhile, Kenya has an alarming lack of skilled designers and construction professionals and booming demand for urban development, particularly housing. This high-potential sector is currently male-dominated, with women representing less than 3% of those it employs. By the end of this century, 40% of the global population will reside in Africa. By 2030, more than half of Africa's population will reside in cities. We are working to ensure that women actively contribute to and benefit from this urban development. Our solution: Buildher recognizes an opportunity in this problem. We designed and deliver an innovative technical training and employment program exclusively for low income earning women that produces semi-skilled artisans and places them with construction industry employers. Our model is designed by women, for women: It enables participants to earn as they learn, significantly increase their earnings, and secure a professional certification that creates opportunities for career growth. Our goal: Buildher will train and empower thousands of Kenyan women through construction. In the process, we will develop a replicable model for gender integration in our industry to deeply impact hundreds of thousands of women across the continent. Buildher equips disadvantaged women in Kenya with accredited construction skills leading to greater financial prosperity, changing male attitudes and promoting gender equality within the construction industry.

The Decade Project is dedicated to making business ownership reflect the race, gender, and ethnicity of America.

What if American business ownership looked like America? Right now, it doesn’t, but it could.  The Decade Project (TDP) has the audacious goal of having American business ownership (firms with one or more employees) reflect the race/ethnicity and gender of America by 2035. By intentionally investing in role models, financial capital accessibility, entrepreneurial upskilling, mentorship and networking, and catalyzing all of our nation’s talent, the U.S. could have over 2 million more sustainable employer firms, 20 million more jobs, 4 times the amount of innovation and a $4 trillion increase in annual GDP.

We support rural Cambodian communities by creating sustainable livelihoods and providing essential goods and services.

Bareebo: Tuk, Aha, Sahmahtuhpeeup in Khmer stands for Enough: Water, Food, Ability. At Bareebo, we believe people should have access to clean water, healthy food, and opportunities to improve their lives. In rural Cambodia, where Bareebo works, many people lack these essentials.
When you donate to Bareebo, you support a dynamic community development program that serves those with the abilities and desire to improve their lives and those who cannot provide themselves with the necessities of life.
We work with the farmer cooperative we helped form in 2020, the Thomacheat Prasat Banan Agriculture Cooperative. Together, we are building community-owned and operated enterprises. In 2023-25, we will focus on creating locally sourced and made agricultural products, such as compost and natural fertilizers.
With over 13 years of experience serving our communities, we know some struggle to obtain life’s necessities. The elderly and infirm, people suffering from physical and emotional disabilities and traumas, and children not getting the essentials they need. To these vulnerable human beings, Bareebo provides food, shelter, health services, and whatever else we can. 
We love people, and we love the work we do.  
Please support our work and know you are doing something positive in the world.

The Logical Foundation provides people with unconditional basic income, enabling them to secure their basic needs and prosper.

Imagine a world where everyone has the freedom and dignity to pursue their dreams, free from poverty. That’s the world we want to create at The Logical Foundation.

We are a team of passionate and visionary individuals who believe in the power of basic income to transform lives. Basic income is a simple idea: give people cash, no strings attached, and let them decide how to use it. It’s a disruptive technology for helping people, as evidenced by over three hundred rigorous studies that show its positive impacts on nutrition, education, income, health, and many other outcomes.

We started The Logical Foundation in 2022 after our founder, Michael Simm, realized that the unparalleled power of basic income could change the world. He sought advice from nonprofit and business professionals such as Stuart Turgel, Rodney Houston, Carol Farabee, and Andrew Simm, and passionate community members with lived experience like Gareth Gilsdorf. Together, they designed a system to unleash the disruptive potential of basic income across the nonprofit sector without relying on unpredictable government action.

Our goal is to launch the most cost-effective anti-poverty program ever run in Arizona in 2024, where we will provide basic income to Arizonans experiencing homelessness. We hope to inspire funders to recognize that people in need know what they need, and take on poverty with the only intervention that can forever end it.

We foster and support community, environmental and economic resiliency in the McKenzie River area. 


Our community suffered a devastating blow with a huge wildfire that destroyed the entire town of Blue River, OR, many surrounding homes and businesses and threatens the McKenzie River watershed.  

Our non-profit served as the lead organization for disaster response and provides leadership in both economic and cultural restoration and renewal. 

Our communities are unincorporated, so long term progress relies on our community members and organizations like ours. 

Join us as we work to rebuild a vibrant and sustainable rural community that cares for and protects the Mckenzie River watershed.

We cultivate dynamic partnerships within the global Church to equip followers of Jesus, fueling the spread of the Gospel.

Our Mission:
Frontline Missions exists to develop and cultivate dynamic partnerships within the global Church to train and equip followers of Jesus, fueling the spread of the Gospel and empowering mature expressions of Christ-centered faith worldwide.

Website: https://www.fmusa.org/

Instead of arriving at a community with our preconceived notions, Frontline Missions seeks out the community leaders and strategizes to discover root issues and goals that will have the most impact on the community. Through creative solutions such as Bible Storying, leadership training and economic development, entire communities encounter the transformative power of the Gospel. We believe this approach honors the individuals and leaders in the community, builds lasting relationships, and sustains results over generations.

We need you.

Starting in 1997, Frontline Missions embarked on continuing campaigns to take the Gospel to unreached, unengaged people groups, UUPG, around the world.  As part of this effort, we joined forces with several partner organizations who travel with us to train Indigenous people.  These Indigenous missionaries are learning how to utilize technology to share the Gospel in communities very few can reach.

Whether you want to go on a short term mission to spread the Word, or want to cheer others on from home, we can sow into this historic ministry by providing finances for missionary travel expenses and support for their families while they're gone.

Our Heart:
Alan Winter, the Founder of Frontline Missions, loved to share and listen to stories. He believed in their power to open hearts to the love of God and the power of the Gospel. The culture of storytelling permeates the work of Frontline Missions all over the world, creating a beautiful exchange of sharing and receiving. Frontline Missions uses storytelling in discipleship and evangelism efforts while bearing witness to the work of the Holy Spirit in people’s hearts all around the globe.

Our History:
Frontline Missions develops and cultivates partnerships within the global church to train and equip followers of Jesus to reach the nations for Christ.  We do this by tailoring creative solutions to the specific needs of each country, village, and person we encounter.  We currently operate in seven countries in Central and South America, helping people in underdeveloped regions with solutions like Bible storying, leadership training, and economic development.  This opens the path for self-sustainability and self-transformation through relationship with God.
