Will funds go directly to children or how will they be distributed?

Powerful Children Colombia partners with Colombian-led organizations, meaning certified non-profits registered in Colombia and serving Colombian children, to help design and fund programs that enable all children to embrace their individual power and potential.

How is PCC selecting which partners to work with?

Powerful Children Colombia identifies Colombian-led partner organizations based on the following criteria:

  • Organization’s work aligns with Powerful Children Colombia’s mission – supporting Colombian-led efforts that enable all children to embrace their individual power and potential
  • Organization’s work serves Powerful Children Colombia’s focus area – supporting children ages 5 – 15 in rural Colombia through athletic, cultural, and other educational opportunities that lead to economic stability
  • Organization is registered as an NGO with the government of Colombia
  • Organization has a bank account that is registered under the nonprofit name
  • Organization has documentation of programs and has demonstrated impact

Powerful Children Colombia works closely with partner organizations to design a scope of work for the potential funding opportunity which includes project objectives, beneficiary description, activities, roadmap, success metrics, and budget.

How does Powerful Children Colombia monitor and evaluate the efforts it funds?

Powerful Children Colombia works with partner organizations at the beginning of the partnership to design a scope of work which includes project objectives, beneficiary description, activities, roadmap, success metrics and budget. Powerful Children Colombia disburses funds based on agreed upon milestones for each project. In addition, we have two Directors of Programs who will conduct onsite visits to monitor progress for each project.
