Latest Update from the Field
The Human Capabilities Fund
By Tom Bird - Chairman, GlobalGiving Foundation, June 09, 2008 07:00 PM
Approaching our original goal, we would like to reset expectations and stretch to double them. It’s working, so let’s aim higher. Core holdings for the next period are now set, and we will look for other investments to round out the portfolio. Your financial support is always appreciated, and so is your willingness to spread the word.
Feedback suggests that families have found it useful to look the fund over together, so encouraging families you know to consider spending some time here would be particularly useful.
2-15-08:
Thank for you the very strong financial support so far! We are working with several new project possibilities and anticipate some exciting new additions in the next few months.
We have completed a 3-part investment cycle with KickStart, and are graduating it from the fund. Emeritus if you will. The Human Capabilities Fund helped catalyze the involvement of New Profit Inc. (their first international investment), and KickStart continues to do great things on a larger scale.
