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.
