FIDELITY FOUNDATION

The Fidelity Foundation is a private, nonoperating foundation committed to building capacity in nonprofit organizations. Foundation grants are designed to encourage the highest standards of management and long-term self-reliance in nonprofit organizations. Taking an investment approach to grantmaking, we fund organizations where we feel we can add lasting, measurable value. We seek to support major initiatives that nonprofits undertake to reach new levels of achievement, and the Foundation's founding operating principles still guide our decisions and grantmaking today... The Foundation views our philanthropy as an investment-not just of financial resources, but also of our business skills and experience. In considering each Proposal, we apply the fundamentals of investing: we carefully examine each aspect of an organization's project idea, management team, and financial situation before committing our resources, in order to ensure that a grant can achieve tangible results.
