Company Overview:
The Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1995 to support underserved, international communities in a collaborative and sustainable manner. We work in nine regions throughout Asia, Africa, and Latin America.
Mission:
FSD supports the efforts of grassroots organizations in the developing world that are working to better their communities, environments, and the economic opportunities around them. We believe development begins with the community and is only sustainable if it comes from and is supported by the members of these communities. Through our programs, we aim to raise international awareness of the challenges in developing countries and support cross-cultural communities in finding more effective solutions to development issues.

Our model incorporates three unique programs that develop underserved, international communities in a collaborative and sustainable manner:

(1) Grantmaking to Community-Driven Projects

Donations and grants given to FSD are used to support sustainable projects and capacity building initiatives led by our partner organizations, site teams, interns, and volunteers.

(2) Sustainable Development of Community-Based Organizations

Our professional field staff, consultants, and program participants provide on-site technical training, capacity building, and networking opportunities to more than 200 community-based organizations.

(3) Sustainable Development Training Programs for Interns and Volunteers

FSD provides comprehensive training and immersion programs for interns and volunteers who seek hands-on development experience in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. Program participants come from countless professions and more than 300 universities worldwide to collaborate with our partner organizations on community-driven projects that reflect sustainable principles.

These three program areas work in tandem to strengthen our partner organizations and their communities, while providing interns and volunteers with the skills necessary to effectively engage in development. As a collaborative effort, FSD facilitates sustainable solutions through seven overlapping development subjects: microenterprise/microfinance, health, environment, youth and education, women's empowerment, community development, and human rights.
