Mission

Bright Futures Foundation is a nonprofit organization founded on personal relationships and the belief that we can work together to provide meaningful change for people living in far less abundant circumstances.

Our mission is to improve lives in the poorest corners of the world by empowering women and children through quality education and health care.

Our programs are further steered by the following guiding principles:

• We assure performance and accountability through close communication and regular site visits.
• We observe the highest standards for nonprofit business management and business ethics.
• We work with respect for cultural values and customs that support the larger community.
• We believe education is essential for positive change.
• We seek to inspire and support local leaders to become effective and serve in their own communities and countries.
• Our board members are active, involved and hands-on participants.
• Sponsored students "pay it forward" by sponsoring, supporting and mentoring younger students.
• We minimize overhead by maximizing volunteer resources.
• We encourage equality and empowerment.
• We extend our impact through partnerships with other nonprofit organizations, volunteers, private businesses and others who support our mission.

Essentially projects are funded by donations from individuals, proceeds of two main fundraising events held in southern Oregon and by longer term commitments made by individuals to sponsor students. Bright Futures Foundation also collaborates with other nonprofit organizations to fund and complete projects which further our mission, including Rotary Clubs, Zonta and other organizations.
