AREAS OF FUNDING
The foundation board of directors currently seeks to build partnerships with organizations working in the following countries and regions:  Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, India, Mexico, Central America, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. 

As a faith-based organization, we prioritize faith-based, community-oriented initiatives focused on one of three areas of development:

Hunger Alleviation and Economic Empowerment: To strengthen community efforts towards food security and self-sufficiency, grants are awarded in the areas of micro-enterprise development; agricultural training and development; women's empowerment; and health and nutrition.  We also support faith-based programs working to free individuals from exploitative work conditions. Education and Leadership Development: Youth are our leaders for the next generation. We seek to invest in women, youth and their communities by facilitating access to formal and nonformal education, vocational training, and servant leadership development.  Our goal is to prepare inviduals as servant leaders in their communities. Immigration in the USA:  Over 30 million immigrants currently live and work in the US, although they are a largely underserved population and lack access to education, housing, healthcare, and other basic rights.  We seek to build relationships with faith-based partners serving this people group, advocating for positive policy reform, and building just relationships.

Cherry Donations -- Broetje Orchards' "First Fruits" of the season

As part of Broetje Orchards' commitment to service, 100% of profits from the sale of cherries are donated annually to non-profit organizations.  Cherry committees comprised of employees from Broetje Orchards and Vista Hermosa meet annually to discuss issues, identify programs, and solicit proposals for review.   This philanthropic process is led entirely by our employees and no unsolicited proposals are accepted for review.
