| Mission/Overview
|
Since its founding, EW has invested all donor funds directly in programs. All administrative overhead, communications, postage and the majority of travel costs have been absorbed by its volunteer staff and board members. As we build the basic administrative support and technical infrastructure needed to increase its capacity, and leverages its recourses to advance the PIE Model empowering all sectors to co-create a sustainable world, (reducing burden on non-profits and government), these are values EW will keep. EW pledges to invest 90% of EW non-earmarked (general) funds in EW global health, economic and environmental programs where they are needed most and will have the greatest impact. Learn More 10% of unrestricted funds will be reserved as unrestricted to assure ability to cover administrative and operating costs and leverage special opportunities to make sustainable investments. Where
ever we can avoid duplicating transport, communication, and
any other overhead cost, we cut it. Where we can gain the help
of a competent intern or volunteer rather than pay a salary
we do. In global programs, we work through existing infrastructures
of local implementing partners, thus eliminating major overhead
costs. Internally, our staff & volunteers work out of home offices
as much as possible, and use free internet phone service, such
as www.skype.com.
EW USA's cultural programs, Think-tanks, workshops and conferences are self-sufficient or are income generating. Please contact us with any questions you may have. *Empowerment
