Programmes may be delivered directly by the Foundation, through partner organisations, through sponsored cohorts, through schools and universities, through community partners, through diaspora organisations or through volunteers and mentors. Each programme should have clear objectives, beneficiary criteria, delivery standards, safeguarding considerations, reporting requirements and impact measures.
each programme must serve charitable purposes.
each programme should state who it serves, what it provides and what outcomes it seeks.
programmes should be delivered with credible schools, nonprofits, community groups and institutions where appropriate.
youth and family programmes should include appropriate protection standards.
donors should understand how funds are used and what impact is produced.
programmes should be designed for continuity, not only one-off activities.
You can support NCDF Foundation USA by donating, volunteering, sponsoring a programme, mentoring young people, partnering with us or helping us connect diaspora communities to meaningful charitable impact.
