OUR MANIFESTO
It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
Frederick Douglass
OUR METHOD
Our ambition is to help create a world where children feel safe and empowered; where they can live without fear or the ingrained hatred of past generations; a world ripe with possibility and potential, capable of supporting their hopes and dreams.
To achieve this isn’t going to be straightforward or quick. It demands realism and pragmatism to see the world as it is and a bold imagination to envisage what it could be. Between the two we place our human capital in a bid to pull them closer together. We use our passion, unique skills and far-reaching connections, leveraging them with pace and acumen to multiply the impact and accelerate change.
We have the technology and finance required to solve the greatest humanitarian problems and guarantee the stability, freedom and protection all our children deserve.
We have never been better connected and therefore never better placed to find synergistic partnerships and willing collaborators. This same connectedness gives our voice global volume and resonance. Innovators, leaders and influencers are now all within earshot.
Il Cuore Altrove is the manifestation of hope in a cynical world. We our placing our heart where the most active form of love is required. Protecting, nurturing and inspiring the world’s most vulnerable children. Offering security where there is uncertainty and hope instead of despair to unlock their full potential and help them become the strong building blocks of all our futures.
We facilitate, strengthen and enable existing charitable vehicles by leveraging our unique skills, connections and passions. We identify and support projects that have the following key elements, taking care not to duplicate the efforts of others.
- Innovative
The innovation can be a result of applied technology, a unique idea that brings a societal paradigm shift or a different perspective to an established narrative. It is important that the projects have a personality, process and outcome that appeals to younger generations. This could be through their communications, network, advocates, location and/or demographic. We are a forward-looking foundation with a compelling vision to create a future to live into.
- Early stage, grassroots and scalable
We want to find projects and initiatives that have the potential to create lasting change but perhaps don’t have the scale or volume required to grow. Projects that due to their simplicity and systems could be scaled to multiply their impact exponentially for the cause or community they are serving.
- Effective, measurable and accountable
We will only support the efforts of organisations that that are extremely disciplined and precise in measuring the impact and efficiency of the funds. As we will provide aid and humanitarian relief to children in need, we simultaneously must maintain our integrity and responsibility through financial audits, reports, on-site inspections and programme visits. Meeting the needs of suffering children is only part of our mission’s responsibilities. Being accountable to our donors and supporters is central to every operation. Passion without precision will not take us far.
- Projects that are strategic inside our networks
The strategic alliances we can bring to the projects have a much greater impact than any financial support. They range from human resources, insight, political lobbying and powerful influence. To effect the greatest change and to have the longest-lasting impact, we will only select charities and causes that we know we can credibly assist. Promises that go unfulfilled and dreams left disappointed are simply not acceptable to us, so we choose who we support with deep consideration.
- Non-discriminating care to all
We support projects that provide care regardless of race, religion or gender. In addition, an important part of our model will be supporting programmes that address the whole child – physically, mentally, socially, and spiritually. We want to support programmes that strive to give children the values, integrity and character to be good global citizens.
