The fund makes seed capital grants administered by Mercy Corps field offices to implement innovative economic development pilot projects led by local entrepreneurs. Country Directors and their staff manage selected programs, sometimes in partnership with local organizations. The Fund offers strategic philanthropists a strong social return on donations by providing quantifiable results from projects, and by leveraging successful pilots to maximize impact and scale.<br class="clear" /></div> </td> </tr> </table> </div><p><a href="http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2430">read more</a></p> http://www.nextbillion.net/activitycapsule/2430#comment Business Development Activity Global Active Guatemala Mongolia Non-profit Activity Philanthropy Funded Producer Asia Pacific Latin America Mon, 27 Mar 2006 14:08:49 -0500 _Alex Bloom 2430 at http://www.nextbillion.net
