If you wish to give via Credit Card or Paypal, you can click the link below. This will allow you to make a gift in your local currency which will be allocated to our General Fund.<

The General Fund is comprised of donations that are not fixed to a particular partnership, but are available for us to apply to partnerships that do not have a specific donor.

When we take on a new partner, we typically fund them from our General Fund for the first year. This is an extended aspect of our relational due diligence process, and it enables us to ensure everything is stable in the partnership before making it available for direct donor funding.

One of Bright Hope World's core values is to operate at the lowest administration levels possible. When a donor gives to the General Fund, we take no administration fee at all, so 100% of funds given go directly to the partner. We do this to recognise the strategic importance to Bright Hope World of having such funding available.

By donating to the General Fund you are strategically investing in our ability to direct funding where it is needed most.

We understand that people and organisations tend to want to give to a specific cause or partner and we are, of course, absolutely delighted when this happens. However, having the ability to use untagged funds when unexpected needs arise, or with new partners, enables us to be more responsive and oriented towards our partners' needs.

Our Global Funds have been established in particular areas to enable us to support the most significant and urgent needs in those categories.

They enable you to support our work in a specific area of interest, without the need to identify a specific partner. Funds given to a Global Fund will have a maximum of 10% withheld for administration costs.

Our Global Funds are as follows:

	Global Education Fund Bright Hope World's Global Education Fund is focused on providing specific educational opportunities in the areas in which our partners work. We place an emphasis on vocational training for those seeking to serve amongst their own people; on educational needs for those with disabilities; and on supporting gifted students who would otherwise be unable to pursue further education.
	Global Disaster Fund Every year or so we see a major humanitarian disaster somewhere in the world. Often we have partners in the countries where these disasters strike the hardest. These are countries where a natural disaster can devastate hundreds of thousands of lives and where help may never arrive for many people. The Global Disaster Fund has been established so we are prepared to help when disaster strikes.
	Global Microfinance Fund Microfinance is the provision of small loans to those who cannot access mainstream finance. These loans are often essential for people to provide for their families' needs. And the great thing about microfinance is that the same pool of money can be lent out again and again and again! The Microfinance Fund enables us to create and extend microloan programmes, benefiting the poorest of the poor.

Donors can, of course, commit to funding a specific partnership.

To express interest in funding (or part-funding) a partnership - or to find out more about a specific partnership - please click the link on the web page for the specific partnership and we'll contact you to answer your questions and discuss funding requirements.

Part of our emphasis on partnership is our long-term engagement with partners. Because of this, we ask that, in most cases, a donor wishing to fund a partnership commit to doing so for at least three years. This provides a strong basis for the development and health of the partnership.

Money given to a specific partnership will have a maximum of 10% withheld for administration costs.

We will let you know via email when a partner report is available. This can be expected at least annually.
