How do you choose which projects to support?
We use a social, economic and environment impact criteria for underserved communities to select projects. The project must satisfy substantial criteria from the following questions: Will it economically empower the community? Will it improve the environment? Will it help socially liberate at-risk populations? Will it serve as a demonstration project for replication purposes? Does it foster self-reliance and self-sustainability? Does it empower innovative breakthrough models? Does it serve toward a Tipping Point in that community?
Where does the money come from, and where does it go?
PFC receives funds from private donations, grants, foundations, sales from products, and the Better Earth Note. In most instances, 10% of the funds we receive are designated for overhead, 5% to 10% for financial accounting, and the remainder of 80% to 85% is utilized for direct implementation of projects.
