Evaluation Criteria

Rigorous alignment for lasting impact

We do not fund temporary interventions. Our evaluation framework ensures that every dollar of windfall capital is converted into permanent, structured social infrastructure.

Systemic Leverage

Projects must address root causes rather than symptoms, creating structural scaffolding that keeps communities resilient over decades.

Measurable Longevity

Proposals must demonstrate a clear path to self-sustainability or permanent institutional integration beyond the initial grant cycle.
