Every donation giving for life
It is our aim to maintain a simple, but effective giving platform through which every donation is put to work actively generating income through ethical investments. This income is directed to our partner communities, allowing us, as a community, to commit to our partners long-term, through stable, predictable, sustainable giving.
A family for every child
We want to see orphaned, abandoned and displaced children raised by loving families. It's our aim to grow a community of people committed to empowering families and communities to provide the best possible care for their children. We whole-heartedly support the clear movement in development practice and growing international research endorsing family and community based care models as best practice for the care of children. And we don't just believe what we read. We have been on the ground and seen this model at work - changing kids' lives and transforming entire communities. We will continue to advocate for this model of care and support locally-run organisations to do so, in many cases, as they seek to move away from orphanage and institutional care.
Engagement and Transparency
As a DevA member you will be provided with online tools that allow you to track your Donor Units and access clear, transparent, regularly-updated financial and project reports. You'll also be able to access information relating to your Donor Unit investment, the returns being distributed or project information and updates.
A Zero Cost Target
DevA will always seek simplicity in its organisational structure and administrative processes. We will also endeavor to attain as close as possible to a Zero Cost structure, particularly in terms of administration costs. At present, members of the DevA board personally meet all administration costs including but not limited to company registration, printing, web hosting and consultancy.
Any fees associated with the operation of the investment platform are met internally in the fund before distributions are calculated. These operational fees may include fund administration fees, bank fees or management expense ratio fees.
We want to grow a community of engaged supporters. We have developed a range of online tools that allow you to quickly, easily and clearly track your donations, their growth and the impact they are having for our partner communities.
Zero-Cost Administration
DevA will always seek simplicity in its organisational structure and administrative processes. We will also endeavor to attain as close as possible to a Zero-Cost structure, particularly in terms of administration costs. At present, members of the DevA board and corporate sponsors meet all administration costs including but not limited to company registration, printing, web hosting and consultancy. This means that every dollar donated is put to work in the DevA fund to generate returns for our partner communities.
