Our Work

We support grants and fiscally sponsored projects that help people meet basic needs with dignity. Humanitarian aid belongs here when it is aimed at poverty, and self-reliance belongs here when the help is meant to last beyond a single gift.

A qualified charity or a sponsored project may work on shelter, income support through a charitable program, or practical help for a household. We review the purpose before funds move, and we do not treat this goal as already achieved.

We support charitable work that helps people get enough to eat. That includes food programs, community meals, and projects that strengthen how families obtain food.

Grants go to qualified charities. A project that is not yet its own charity may be housed here through fiscal sponsorship if its purpose is charitable and it will report. Humanitarian aid is one example of the kind of work that fits.

We support charitable efforts that protect health and ease suffering. Clinics, care for people in a hard season, and health education can fit when the purpose is public and charitable.

A grant or a sponsored project starts with a clear purpose and a recipient we can oversee. Humanitarian aid in health is an example, not the limit of this goal.

Education is one example of our work, and this is its home among the goals. We support learning for children and adults, including tutoring, classroom help, and training in a usable skill.

We fund qualified educational charities and may sponsor a charitable learning project that is not yet its own charity. The purpose must be education for the public, not a private benefit to one person.

We support charitable work that expands fair opportunity for women and girls, and for anyone left out because of gender. Education and self-reliance programs can sit here when that is their purpose.

Grants and sponsored projects must serve a charitable aim. We look at who the work is for and whether the charity keeps proper oversight.

We support projects and grants that help communities get safe water and decent sanitation. The work may be local or farther away, as long as it is charitable.

A sponsored project in this area operates as a program of Paramount Impact, under a written agreement and with reporting. A grant goes only to a qualified charity.

We support charitable efforts that help people obtain reliable, cleaner energy for homes, schools, and community facilities. The point is access that serves a public need.

We will consider a grant to a qualified charity or sponsorship of a project with that purpose. We do not claim a result we have not yet seen.

Self-reliance is one example of the work that belongs here. We support job skills, coaching, and practical help that let a person or a family provide for themselves.

Qualified charities and fiscally sponsored projects may do this work if the purpose is charitable and private benefit is not the aim. The board remains responsible for the funds.

We support charitable projects that build useful community infrastructure or share tools and training that help people take part in honest work.

A grant recommendation or a sponsorship request is reviewed for charitable purpose. Funds are paid to a qualified charity, or held for a sponsored project that must report.

We support work that helps people who are left out of ordinary opportunity. Education, humanitarian aid, and self-reliance can all appear here when they are aimed at that gap.

We fund or sponsor qualified charitable efforts. We do not rank one community above another in our public statements, and we do not publish results we do not have.

We support charitable work that makes a neighborhood safer, more stable, or better able to care for its people. Housing support, community facilities, and local resilience can fit.

Projects that are not yet their own charity may be sponsored here. Grants still go only to qualified charities, with the same review we use for every gift.

We support charitable education and community projects that help people use resources with care, including efforts that reduce waste in service of a public need.

A sponsored project must spend funds for the charitable purpose and report what it did. We are early in this work and will not invent a record.

We support charitable work that helps communities prepare for a changing climate and recover with care after a hard season. Humanitarian aid after a disaster is one example.

The recipient must be a qualified charity, or a project we can sponsor under our exemption. Urgency does not skip the board's oversight.

We support charitable projects and grants that protect waterways, coasts, and the people who depend on them. Education about that care can be part of the work.

Sponsorship is available when the project is charitable and accepts our reporting. We describe the kind of work, not a list of completed campaigns.

We support charitable efforts that care for land, habitat, and the communities tied to them. A project may teach, restore, or help a place recover, if the purpose is charitable.

Grants are paid to qualified charities. A fiscally sponsored project is a program of this charity and works under a written agreement.

We support charitable work that strengthens peaceful community life, fair access to help, and institutions people can trust. We do not take part in political campaigns.

A grant or sponsored project in this area must stay within charitable purposes. The board reviews that line before money moves.

Partnership is how the other goals are carried. We work with qualified charities, with families who recommend grants, and with charitable projects housed here through fiscal sponsorship.

Each partnership has a written understanding, a charitable purpose, and reporting the board can read. Partnership does not mean we give up oversight.
