Speak Up for the Poor

We've been sponsoring Asha, a girl in Bangladesh, since 2022 to stay in school so that she may have more opportunities to help her family and community out of poverty. We love receiving her handwritten annual updates. Speak Up for the Poor has a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid, an organization that is kind of the Blue Book of nonprofit institutions. A good rating from Candid is a good sign that the nonprofit has strong financial and governance practices that effectively support their stated mission.

Kiva.org

One of Jung's favorite nonprofits that crowdsources loans for entrepreneurs in developing countries or underserved communities. She has been lending money to entrepreneurs all over the world since 2007 and has recruited her dad Gary and Chris's mom, Christina to the fun as well. Together as a team, they've made 91 microloans in 27 countries! If you participate as a lender, the amount is not tax deductible but it is a gift that keeps on giving because once it is repaid (no interest earned) you can lend it out to another entrepreneur. Please let Jung know if you do become a lender; she'll invite you to the Fitzpatrick and Friends Team to track our collective efforts. You can also donate to Kiva so that they can do their important work. Kiva has a Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid.
