There’s no shortage of worthy nonprofit organizations and charitable causes you can support with your time and resources. We admire many other nonprofits, but we want to share a few reasons why you can be confident in considering a donation to Friends of Forman.
1. Your Support Drives Our Mission
There are many ways nonprofits receive donations—including corporate sponsorships, foundation grants, or fundraising events.
More than half (58%) of our donations come from individuals. This means we rely on a community of supporters rather than just a few major companies or foundations. You can see exactly where our funding comes from in our most recent annual report.
This also helps insulate our cause amidst changes in the political landscape. Forman Christian College received a generous USAID grant to build the Cheryl Burke Hope Tower dormitory for women over 10 years ago. However, we don’t currently receive any federal funding or government support.
We pray for other partner nonprofits who have been adversely affected by these changes to USAID funding.
2. You’re Investing in a Future of Inclusion and Impact
At Friends of Forman, we believe education is a powerful force for peace, opportunity, and progress. Through your generosity, we are able to:
- Equip young Christian leaders to thrive in their academic and professional journeys.
- Empower young women with access to quality education in a country where opportunities for female students can be limited.
- Encourage interfaith dialogue by fostering an environment where students from diverse backgrounds learn together in harmony.
Supporting education at Forman Christian College (FCCU) is worthwhile because it’s one of the most accepting and grace-filled institutions in a country not always recognized for these attributes. By bringing people with diverse backgrounds together, it builds tolerance, cooperation, and harmony.
Thousands of young Pakistani students are impacted by our mission. These students represent the future of the country and the region. By pouring into their lives, we have the opportunity to influence the future and make it brighter.
3. You Can Trust in Transparency and Accountability
When you give to Friends of Forman, you can be confident in how your donation is being stewarded. This is backed up by our top-level ratings on both Candid and Charity Navigator.
Our commitment to transparency includes:
- Annual independent audits conducted by a reputable accounting firm.
- Publicly available financial reports so you can see exactly how funds are used.
- Clear accountability measures to ensure ethical and effective financial stewardship.
In a world where some charities struggle with financial mismanagement and scandals, Friends of Forman stands out as a U.S.-based organization with a strong track record of integrity. You can give confidently, knowing your support makes a real and measurable difference in the lives of students who need it most.
