The Fig Tree Foundation is committed to supporting projects and programs that demonstrate the best potential return on every dollar raised, as measured by the net positive impact on the lives of communities in need.
Our unique structure includes the Round Table, a forum for local non-governmental organizations to meet, exchange experiences and explore collaborative opportunities.
