We believe the philanthropic franchise model is the best approach to empowering kids. Because it’s our model that’s replicable—as opposed to our physical building plans—we replicate outcomes instead of surroundings. This means we can move fast, create sustainable change, and ensure that our high standards are met, yet avoid the cookie-cutter philanthropy that so often alienates partners on the ground.

Due to the magnitude of the problems of poverty around the
world, our model is structured to be replicable and thus scalable. We keep our projects
and villages small and modular. They are never one-off solutions. Rather our projects
and villages are standardized and can be replicated over and over and exported
to other countries and regions. We call it philanthropic franchising. Donors sponsor
one village or project and then repeat their sponsorship on a program basis, year
after year, over and over without reinventing the wheel each time. Donors know
what they are signing up for. Our villages are consistent, simple and
replicable. As each village has guest quarters, sponsors fund one village
franchise and, in doing so, are entitled to send volunteers to any Lift Kids
Village anywhere in the
world. That's the advantage of sponsorship. It opens a world of villages and opportunities to each
sponsor. Lift Kids originated this unique, innovative concept of philanthropic franchising which is also based on
the principle of time-share. The magnitude and urgency of the problems require
imaginative, scalable and rapid action, globally!
