Impact Fund

Our Impact Fund gives our experts the flexibility to direct your support to the area or project of greatest need. In Afghanistan, where multiple crises are unfolding, this flexibility is key—allowing us to direct your unrestricted support where it makes the most significant impact in real time.

Education

The Education Fund supports direct instruction to children, teacher training and salaries, curriculum development, school building, and collaborative educational partnerships between local school children and their peers around the globe.

Humanitarian Relief 

The Humanitarian Relief Fund commits resources to organizations operating on the ground to provide emergency support and essential services in the following areas; education, healthcare, support for internally displaced persons in makeshift camps, providing for basic needs, ie shelter, food, clean water, and financial assistance for families living in poverty and unemployment.

Equity, Diversity & Inclusion

The Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion Fund supports organizations committed to protecting and empowering Afghan women/girls, children/adults with disabilities, and ethnic/religious minorities within the Afghan population. As uniquely vulnerable populations within the current landscape of Afghanistan, these groups are in need of additional measures of protection and resources.

Refugee Resettlement

The Refugee Resettlement Fund supports these ongoing evacuation efforts, provides resettlement services and needs for recent refugees, and helps connect Afghans with legal protection and counsel once they reach their host country.

Preserving Afghan Knowledge, Culture & Art

The Arts & Culture Fund supports fellowships and scholarships that enable the thousands of Afghans, many in exile, to continue their work, build upon their country’s knowledge, and preserve its cultural heritage to ensure that essential institutional memory and the hard-won advancements of entire generations are not lost.

Environmental Protection & Sustainability

Much of Afghanistan’s natural landscape has been impacted and destroyed by decades of war. The aim of the Environmental Protection & Sustainability Fund is to support organizations working to:

1) Restore and protect Afghanistan’s natural habitats and the diverse species that depend on them.

2) Revitalize agricultural lands in ecologically responsible ways that alleviate the consequences of climate migration.

3) Protect Afghanistan’s waterways and ensure access to clean water.

Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure

The Industry, Innovation & Infrastructure Fund was set up to support the revitalization of local economies by identifying and marketing key resources in each region and building the necessary infrastructure for resource sharing across the country and in the global marketplace. Projects supported by this fund must:

1) Prioritize the health and wellbeing of local people and local habitats, ensuring that neither are exploited in the process of revitalizing local economies.

2) Address local needs in innovative and sustainable ways that build local capacity and support job creation.
