The U.S. Oil Open Fund for Basic Needs is a field of interest fund to assist established nonprofit organizations with a proven record of success in maintaining solid, critical programs that address the root causes of poverty and prevent persons in episodic crisis from becoming persons of chronic need.
In order to achieve the fund's desired outcomes, grantmaking will focus on supporting:
-
Organizations that demonstrate the potential to expand or deepen their impact, or those that are already achieving measurable impact.
-
Efforts that involve goal-oriented, flexible partnerships among the nonprofit, public, and private sectors.
-
Initiatives that take a long-term view of what is required for people to move out of poverty.
