Consuelo Zobel Alger Foundation

Consuelo Foundation is an operating foundation registered under laws of the United States of America. We are not a grantmaking organization. We operate programs directly through our staff or by contracting numerous non-profit or nongovernmental organizations in close partnership. One of the unique features of how we work as an operating foundation is the way we contract the services of NGOs and private organizations engaged in providing direct service to these children, women and families. We have developed appropriate systems for selecting and working with our partners and invest heavily in their continuous capacity building and development. By partnering with implementing organizations, we create and maintain a standard of excellence and cycle of change where together, we are able to prevent and treat abuse, neglect and exploitation of children, women and families in the Philippines and in Hawaii.
