Family Care Foundation, an international not-for-profit charity
Family Care Foundation (FCF) operates programs in developing nations, makes grants, and provides training for grassroots organizations in the Third World, participating in a wide variety of community-based initiatives.
Family Care Foundation network has been developed through identifying existing, successful programs, such as Helping Hands Korea, to help achieve our mission, and in turn to help them build their capacity. Formerly a project partner of FCF, Helping Hands Korea now operates as its own independent NGO. Working in joint venture partnerships and coalitions that strengthen global grassroots philanthropy and its leadership, our unique approach leverages the resources entrusted to our care.
Family Care Foundation provides for our Project Partner Managers a support network, information disbursement, education, training, capacity building, technical assistance, and seed funds. We also provide monitoring, evaluation, and grant administration as an intermediary for US-based funders.
By drawing on a wide range of training, educational, and advocacy resources, as well as networking with other agencies, the yield is fruitful partnerships and collaborations on both the operational, as well as the funding level, with a diverse array of partner agencies and individuals. We coordinate similar programs on a global level, identify and share best practices among Project Partner Managers, market global needs, obtain donor support, and coordinate required and appropriate reporting.
Our programs build on the extensive experience and broad network of our local Project Partner Managers who have years of hands-on experience in humanitarian and/or missionary work. Many are citizens of the nations they serve and/or have extensive experience in their respective countries, are fluent in the local language, knowledgeable of the local culture, and have broad, enthusiastic support from government agencies, businesses, and donors. The fact that FCF Partner Projects tend to enjoy strong links and relationships with a host of government officials, private businesses, and influential individuals, has helped earn Family Care Foundation a proven track record for implementing change in the communities we serve.
Notes executive director Larry Corley, "We like to think that Family Care Foundation functions like a well-oiled machine, whereby FCF's partner projects have found effective ways to take charity dollars and put them to work where it really matters -- helping people."
