A note from Dr. Sanjay Sinho, Chief Executive Officer, AIF, which is highly motivating and calls for celebration:
Dear friends,
Please join me in celebrating an AIF milestone on the eve of our tenth anniversary. Over the past six months, a ten-person team from J-Intersect, a global performance improvement company, conducted an intensive, rigorous research study to benchmark diaspora philanthropic organizations and high value-add best practices worldwide. More than 125 sector professionals from a global network contributed to the study. This independent, third-party study found that AIF achieves ten times more positive social impact from donor contributions than the average peer (also known as a “10x NPB multiplier”). The findings of the J-Intersect Project Report also concluded that AIF has developed a consistent track record of:
· Creating global benchmarks and high value-add best practices
· Innovating and using key performance indicators to continuously improve performance
· Achieving high value-add, high return on resources, and high impact – the “three highs”
As a result of these accomplishments, AIF has been named one of the two best diaspora philanthropy organizations worldwide (alongside its peer Philippine Development Foundation/Ayala Foundation).
If this news wasn't good enough, the Charles & Agnes Kazarian Foundation announced a new worldwide Knowledge Partnership initiative, and announced an investment of $1.8 million for a Knowledge Partnership with AIF. Founder and Chairman Paul Kazarian remarked, “AIF shares our passion for improving performance at the nexus of the commercial and social sectors, and they also share our passion for the ‘three highs’: high value add, high return on resources, and high impact.”
AIF has consistently demonstrated effective stewardship of donations, which has been recognized alongside its fiscal and financial efficiency through the prestigious – and highest possible – 4-star rating for AIF from Charity Navigator for three consecutive years.

Highlights from the Project Report are available at www.jintersect.com , under Project Reports.
Please join me in congratulating the AIF family of supporters, partners and staff in its excellent work, and help spread the good word widely within and across your networks!
