Concentration RiskGiving Philosophy
Believes education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, with a specific focus on girls' education as a multiplier effect for families and communities. Takes a holistic approach by providing not just financial support but also volunteer coaching and mentorship. Emphasizes that each additional year of education can increase a woman's income by up to 25%, and educated mothers invest more in their children's education, creating intergenerational change.
Tips for Applicants
The foundation awards scholarships directly to individual female students rather than institutions. They are actively fundraising to expand from 230 to 300 scholarships. Applications appear to be merit-based and focused on financial need. The foundation emphasizes providing comprehensive support beyond just money - including volunteer coaching. For donors and corporate partners, 100% of donations go directly to scholarship recipients, and all donations are tax deductible as they are registered as a Public Benevolent Institution.
