Conclusion

We believe that the work of the Han-Schneider International Children’s Foundation provides a unique opportunity for investors with a shared passion for this mission to embrace projects that otherwise would be outside their province. Quite simply, the greater resources directed to these projects, the greater the number of children whose lives can be re-authored through this work.

Further, we believe that partnering with other institutions in this work will create a body of funders with shared values and missions that, working collectively, can surpass the impact of their individual investments.

Especially in the increasingly competitive world of civil society development – in which the number of valid and virtuous projects far outstrips available resources to fund them – collaborative funding efforts will be most effective in identifying and buttressing those projects of special interest. Continued research and close working relationships will assure the proper and most beneficial use of the funds for the children.
