World-renowned, Bangladesh-based non-profit organization, BRAC USA’s mission is to raise awareness of BRAC’s successful community development model, mobilize resources and cultivate business partnerships to support BRAC’s global expansion.

BRAC USA seeks to improve the well being of the poorest in Africa and Asia, particularly its women and children. To do so, BRAC USA will support the transfer and adaptation of BRAC’s knowledge and experience in organizing people for power in vulnerable communities throughout Africa and Asia. BRAC USA’s grant-making philosophy is based on three fundamental ideas:

• Building capacity in African and Asian communities has more impact and is more sustainable than traditional development models
• Investing in women and girls has a disproportionately large return for communities
• Northern solidarity in support of Southern leadership and South-South collaboration can generate lower cost and higher impact solutions for poverty.
