RESULTS Educational Fund

Each day in the developing world, nearly 27,000 children die mostly from malnutrition and preventable diseases In the U.S., one in six children grow up in poverty. Yet we have the resources and the expterise to drastically reduce poverty at home and abroad. All that is missing is the public and political will.

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.
