FCDE’s Partners in International Development

In addition to our many local partners, FCDE also establishes key relationships with national development organizations and funders. These relationships provide access to information and resources often not available from other sources and ensures that we continue our approach as an organization facilitating rather than leading development.

Corporate Supporter Spotlight

FCDE, like so many smaller non-profits, consistently works to find like minded people and organizations to help fund the development work in which we are engaged. Consistent, appropriate funding can make huge differences in the support work done within communities. We want to thank and properly recognize the organizations and people that have helped FCDE through its start-up phase.

In the spotlight: SP Holdings

SP Holdings has made a significant, ongoing commitment to FCDE’s work. This commitment has enabled our organization to move through its start-up phase and to begin our programmatic work.

From the beginning, SP Holdings has challenged our organization to think about our community development work and its impact from multiple stakeholders' perspectives. It is from conversations with SP Holdings leadership team and many others that have helped us refine our monitoring and evaluation system to provide clear empirical information that tells a story about the impact of FCDE’s work within our partner communities.

SP Holdings has shown itself to be one of those unique corporate donors that wants their donations to be for good causes, but is also interested in educating itself about the field of community development and how it can impact peoples’ lives. Through our work together, FCDE has helped SP holdings identify specific outcomes that they are interested in helping to achieve. By engaging in this way we feel that a productive and mutually beneficial partnership has been developed.

SP Holding has generously offered to help FCDE continue to attract new partners and support through the use of matching grants. If you are interested in finding out how you can leverage your donation to FCDE through SP Holding’s matching grant offer please contact our Executive Director, Eric Younger.
