In an increasingly connected world, BeFunded is committed to enabling diasporas across the world to donate to their home communities in a safe, easy, and effective manner. We recognize that all diasporas are unique and within each are hundreds and thousands of unique individuals with their own goals and passions. That is why we are looking to take a flexible approach with the Diaspora Gives Program, which encompasses various philanthropic giving models tailored to fit the needs of various diaspora groups.
Diasporas often give back through informal channels, foregoing a tax-deduction and risking their money falling into the wrong hands. Through donor-advised giving, BeFunded is able to not only provide diasporans with a tax-deduction but can ensure that their donations are compliant with relevant regulations, that any risks they have been mitigated, and that their reputation is protected.
Donor Advised Funds allow diaspora individuals to contribute to a fund that they can then recommend grants from, providing flexibility and tax advantages.
Single Gifts offer a straightforward way for diaspora donors to make one-time contributions to support charitable causes.
ThE BeFunded Donor Fund provides a platform for diaspora philanthropists to manage and distribute their charitable donations.
Diaspora Gives Bangladesh offers specific philanthropic opportunities tailored to the Bangladeshi diaspora community.
Expedited Giving provides a quick and efficient way for diaspora donors to support charitable causes without delay.
The Diaspora Philanthropy Summit brought together diaspora groups from the US and Canada committed to contributing to the development of their home communities through charitable giving.
Delegates shared their plans to engage and/or inspire fellow diasporans while learning from BeFunded’s various models and programs for focusing tax-effective support towards vetted charities and projects in their established or ancestral homeland.
