Program areas at Focusing Philanthropy
.
We worked with various nonprofits to refine initiatives (and associated budgets, timetables and intended outcomes). We developed and presented giving opportunities, often through collaborative fundraising appeals. We monitored our beneficiary organizations and programs on a continuous basis. Among a range of other interactions and analyses, our monitoring involved field visits to program sites of each domestically-oriented nonprofit we support, as well as extended international trips to guatemala, mozambique, core d'ivoire, ethiopia, rwanda, kenya, nigeria, and canada during the year to observe program activity and meet with non-profit leaders. This extensive and continuous monitoring enables us to exercise judgement regarding what programs to support.
