Overview:
The International Foundation Grant provides funding to US-based non-profit organizations that work with impoverished communities in developing countries to raise standards of living, enhance access to health care, education, and earnings, and build local ability to maintain the gains made. Our method aims to bring about change in the space between people and large, national organizations, where locals collaborate to achieve a common goal.
Grants in the three crucial areas of income, education, and health are funded by the International Foundation. However, each of these sectors offers a variety of investment opportunities that, when combined with other program areas, can produce effects that are broader, more equitable, and more long-lasting.
Our grant-making is primarily driven by factors related to program type, geographic area, and degree of poverty.

Initiative Focus
Simply put, the International Foundation provides funding for grants in the crucial fields of income, education, and health. However, each of these sectors offers a variety of investment opportunities that, when combined with other program areas, can produce effects that are broader, more equitable, and more long-lasting. We support strategies that in any particular program area put an emphasis on developing local leadership, producing quantifiable results, and guaranteeing the long-term sustainability of program benefits.
Health, nutrition, hygiene, and water for hygiene and health (WASH)
Education:
Pre-K through secondary basic education, adult education, and information technology for livelihoods in both formal and informal contexts.
Agriculture, food security, the environment, and entrepreneurship all earn income.
Geographical Focus
We provide funding for initiatives in underprivileged areas of developing nations, mainly in the region known as the Global South. Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, the Middle East, and portions of Asia are included in this (including West, Central and East Asia, as well as Oceania.) However, in certain areas where there are natural disasters, active conflicts, or persistent instability, we will not support grant activity.
Focus on Income
We will typically restrict our funds to initiatives in nations that the World Bank classifies as Low Income, Lower Middle-Income, and Middle Income. As a result, a pool of about 135 nations with a gross national income (GNI) per capita below $12,745 will get funding for our programs. You may find lists of these nations and categories at data.worldbank.org.
