The mission of Philanthropy Leaders www.philanthropyleaders.org is to promote the right of every person, particularly children, to grow physically and intellectually in a safe, healthy and nurturing environment. Working globally, we identify projects with measurable benefits and mobilize support from donors across borders. Our priority is to meet the needs of poor and disabled children and their families. What We DoPhilanthropy Leaders brings together groups of donors with similar interests to support causes focusing on global family and children’s issues. We organize projects on behalf of donors, including to find implementing partners, conduct feasibility studies, advise in the design and management of projects and recruit funders as collaborators. Our role can vary from simply identifying and bringing together partners to actual project management. We can support foreign projects on behalf of U.S. donors who seek to provide their support taking advantage of our 501(c)(3) status. Philanthropy Leaders now operates programs in China, Singapore and the United States. We look forward to expanding to other countries in the developing world.
