Flora Family Foundation makes long-term commitment to fifteen Tanzanian NGOs

 

FFF has committed long-term funding to fifteen organizations in Tanzania.  Grantees are working in several areas, including the advancement of girls and women, economic development in communities adjacent to wildlife-protected areas, and teacher training. 

The majority of the Foundation’s grantees are indigenous organizations with modest budgets.  These organizations have successfully been launched and are delivering solid results, but they need intermediate stage “mezzanine” capital to sustain growth and organizational vitality.  FFF is providing this capital in the form of general operating support.  The Foundation is committing up to six years of funding, subject to performance review every two years.  In addition, FFF will be offering grantees the opportunity to apply for supplemental grants to incorporate monitoring and evaluation in their operations.  A list of the Foundation's 2009 grants may be found here.
