Borgen Magazine: Small Grants Combine to Make Real Change

by | Oct 10, 2013 | News

Borgen Magazine posted an article about our approach to making micro grants.  Also profiled in the article is grantee, Ayla Schlosser.  
“We’ve heard of the big dogs in global philanthropy, those monster pocketbooks that shell out millions and billions of dollars to worthy causes around the world.

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Warren Buffet Foundation, to name the top two, do a wonderful job of sponsoring efforts in the fight against global poverty every day. Their contributions to these important efforts are what make large organizations capable of taking on significant, long-term programs that aim to have deep impact for large communities, if not entire countries or international regions.

What we hear much less about, though this is changing, are the many micro-projects that focus on single community issues or even something as small as building a single school house.”

WINNERS!!
Our grantees Manjushree Abhinav and Aanchal Raturi won the Swarnali Roy Vegan Advocacy Awards 2024 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 

Manjushree received a grant for her project "My planet and my plate", inspiring students to become climate activists themselves, to plant the seed of change into the hearts and minds of students, hoping that these seeds will sprout into far-reaching effects. 

Aanchal founded Project Re-Learn, conducting workshops in Uttaranchal colleges to sensitize future agriculturists about ethical practices. 

Join us in congratulating these two incredible heartivists! 🧡
