Help Hardworking People Build Pathways Out of Poverty:
How Can Charitable Giving Help Fight Poverty?
Many nonprofits, charities, and NGOs worldwide are committed to reducing poverty. At TechnoServe, we take a different approach that creates tangible, long-lasting solutions. For over 50 years, as a 501(c)3 nonprofit, we have been fighting poverty by helping small business people and smallholder farmers increase their incomes.
TechnoServe programs partner with farmers and entrepreneurs to improve their skills, knowledge, and market connections. Our programs address women’s economic empowerment and environmental sustainability since two of the biggest barriers to improving incomes are gender inequality and climate change threats
How Charitable Giving is Building Brighter Futures
The Lives Charitable Giving Helps Change
The COVID-19 pandemic affected key sectors of emerging economies—and the millions of people whose livelihoods depend on them. We were working in these places before the world changed suddenly in March 2020. And after the COVID-19 pandemic hit, we accelerated our efforts to support people fighting to forge a path out of poverty.
Your charitable gift can help these resilient communities continue to forge a pathway out of poverty, and level the socioeconomic playing field to help more people access the chance to create sustainable livelihoods.
What Are the Financial Benefits of Charitable Giving?
While most charities and nonprofits are designed to support a worthy cause, not all organizations have the same tax status. When you make a charitable gift to a 501(c)3 that’s registered with the IRS, your donation may be eligible for a tax deduction.
