Read the complete report on global benchmarks in diaspora philanthropy - who are the global benchmarks in diaspora philanthropy and what are their high value add best practices. American India Foundation has been ranked second in this study by J-Intersect. Some of the highlights of the report (which is highly motivating and makes you feel proud to be part of the AIF family) are mentioned below:
- AIF earned its selection as a global benchmark in diaspora philanthropy due to its many scalable innovations and organizational efficiency. AIF has created high impact results through alignment with government objectives and advantageous partnerships with corporate sponsors, achieved high return on resources through volunteer commitments and organizational efficiency, and attained high value-add best practices with training programs that empower India’s poor and disadvantaged by expanding their skill and knowledge base. By directing a majority of its resources to five signature programs - Digital Equalizer (DE), Learning and Migration Program (LAMP), Market Aligned Skills Training Program (MAST), Rickshaw Sangh and William J Clinton Fellowship.
- Digital Equalizer (DE) and the Learning and Migration Program (LAMP) are two examples of AIF’s high impact, high value-add innovations scaled-up exponentially through partnerships with government authorities and corporate sponsors. DE introduces computers and digital media as tools of empowerment in public schools. With corporate funding and government support in six regions, the program has reached nearly 600,000 students and 17,000 teachers across 1,470 schools. LAMP was made possible by partnering with the existing government initiative to Universalize Elementary Education (UEE). Since AIF motivated the government to include the neglected populations of children of seasonal and migrant workers into its National Education Program, LAMP has reached 237,504 children across India. Overall, AIF leverages every US$1 raised in the United States with US$6-US$10 from the Indian Government, foundations and corporations, exponentially increasing the range and impact of its programs.
- AIF achieves high return on resources through volunteer commitments by highly accomplished professionals and passionate staffers, thereby maintaining low fundraising and overhead costs.
- Through its high value-add global best practice training programs, AIF makes long-lasting, generative impact on its grantees.
