Your donation goes to support the core mission of:
Results Educational Fund, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit
The mission of RESULTS Educational Fund (REF) is to create the public will to end poverty in the United States and around the world. We do this by:
? Performing research and oversight on U.S. spending related to hunger and poverty domestically and internationally, as well as cutting-edge research on the most effective solutions to some of the world?s most urgent problems.
? Building support for proven poverty-fighting strategies by engaging and educating the public and by encouraging the media to report on solutions to poverty. Recent grassroots media campaigns have focused on the global tuberculosis epidemic, the need to expand microcredit to the poorest families, strengthening Head Start, and expanding children?s health care coverage in the U.S.
? Supporting powerful citizenship by training our volunteers in public speaking, generating media, hosting community forums, and educating their communities and members of Congress on issues related to our campaigns.

Please consider a year-end contribution to the RESULTS Educational Fund. The Cleveland RESULTS group had a major success this fall when we hosted an education advocate from Kenya, Mary Njoroge. Mary had overseen the transition in Kenya in 2003, when the government abolished fees for basic education and 1 miilion additional children showed up for school. Mary’s powerful success story, and her conviction that this success can be spread with funding assistance from the developed world, inspired a wonderful opinion piece by Sharon Broussard, an editorial writer at the Plain Dealer.
RESULTS has been offered a challenge grant until the end of the year – all gifts to the RESULTS Educational Fund (which are tax deductible) will be matched by an anonymous donor up to $30,000. In making this offer, the donor thanked RESULTS for the opportunity to support such an effective organization. We think the best way to offer our thanks back is to raise the $30,000
The Cleveland RESULTS group has a goal of raising $1500 in support of the challenge grant. It was the RESULTS Education Fund that helped pay for Mary Njoroge’s visit to Cleveland, making it particularly fitting that our group participate in this challenge.

The Cleveland RESULTS group has a goal of raising $1500 in support of the challenge grant. Our biggest success this year was thanks to funding from the RESULTS Education Fund to bring Mary Njoroge to Cleveland. Mary oversaw the transition in Kenya in 2003, when the government abolished fees for basic education and 1 miilion additional children showed up for school. Mary’s powerful success story, and her conviction that this success can be spread to the 75 million children who are not in school with funding assistance from the developed world, inspired a wonderful opinion piece by Sharon Broussard, an editorial writer at the Plain Dealer. It's particularly fitting that our group participate in this challenge.
