Evidence-based education support
Giving Forward Foundation USA is building a transparent platform to help families in India keep their daughters in school through predictable monthly financial assistance, school-supported verification, and measurable outcomes.
Monthly support, measurable retention
A model designed around dignity, transparency, and continuity.
Traceable funds
Every monthly contribution is designed to map clearly from donor to recipient household.
School-verified
Eligibility and progress are coordinated with partner schools and local educators.
Outcome-focused
Retention, attendance, and continuity become the foundation’s core measures of progress.
OUR UNIQUE MICRO-DONATION MODEL
Small Monthly Gifts. Collective, Lasting Impact.
Giving Forward is designed around a community of individual donors contributing small amounts consistently. A suggested contribution of $10 per month can combine with thousands of other monthly gifts to create predictable educational assistance for girls and their families. Our proposed model allocates approximately 90% of each contribution to program support and approximately 10% to administration, payment processing, technology, verification, monitoring, and reporting. Corporate contributions may help fund technology and operating infrastructure, but community-funded micro-donations are intended to remain the foundation of the model.
This is our proposed operating model. Final allocations may change as the program, legal entities, payment processes, and school partnerships are established. Updated allocations will be publicly disclosed.
CURRENT STATUS
Where We Are Today
Giving Forward Foundation USA
In Formation
The nonprofit formation and federal tax-exemption process are underway.
Giving Forward Foundation India
In Development
A Section 8 nonprofit entity is being established to support local program operations.
School Partnerships
Planned
Initial schools are being identified. No school has yet been publicly announced as an approved partner.
Student Support
Not Yet Launched
Student applications, verification, and financial assistance have not yet begun.
The Challenge
School retention is an economic problem before it becomes an educational one.
Giving Forward focuses on the gap families can actually feel month to month: predictable support that makes staying enrolled more realistic.
Millions of girls leave early
Secondary education becomes fragile when tuition, transport, supplies, and household needs compete each month.
Financial barriers are persistent
Direct recurring support gives caregivers a clearer way to plan around education instead of treating it as optional.
Retention compounds outcomes
Keeping girls in school is linked to better educational, health, and economic outcomes over time.
