IDP FOUNDATION

IDPF is a philanthropic organization dedicated to making philanthropy more sustainable.  We achieve this by viewing grants and investments as catalytic capital in a variety of areas - first and foremost, education in the developing world but also cutting-edge medical research and investing in early-stage entrepreneurial initiatives... Governments are responsible for providing quality free education for all children, however in many developing countries this is not happening, despite often meeting, or exceeding, recommended UNESCO benchmarks on budget allocation. After being inspired by local actors striving to change learning outcomes for underserved communities on a visit to Ghana in 2008, IDP Foundation has been committed to addressing the gap in quality education provision. As a funding partner and champion of the affordable non-state education sector (ANS), we believe that low-fee private schools play a crucial role in complementing public education in low and lower-middle income..
