Organizations that improve the opportunities for america's disadvantaged youth under the premise that few are entitled to a handout, yet all are entitled to a hand up. Organizations that seek to improve people's lives based on the premise that if you give someone a fish, they'll be fed today but if you teach someone to fish, they'll be fed for life. Organizations that focus on children, in the belief that the earlier assistance is provided the more leverage that assistance will have. Cost effective programs where a small contribution can make a significant difference. Organizations where a large percentage of funding goes directly to achieve these goals.
