Focusing Philanthropy

Mission

Focusing Philanthropy believes extraordinary impact is possible if we focus on root causes, maximize leverage, act on solid information, and pool our efforts. We believe donations should be made with the same level of strategic intent, information, and confidence as other investments. That is why we target serious human challenges that individual donors can successfully address; choose tactics that are demonstrably effective; identify confidence inspiring implementing partners; conduct ongoing monitoring; and assure substantive reporting.

Vision

Together, we have the resources to profoundly change many lives.

Goals

1.Fund life-changing programs for over 12 million people between 2024 and 2028 by raising and deploying ~$150 million, equaling what was accomplished in our first 12 years
2.Continuously strengthen our processes of grantee selection, program monitoring, and substantive and timely reporting to enable donors to make philanthropic decisions with the same level of confidence and effectiveness as their other investment decisions
