Afghan Female Student Outreach

AFSO helps university women in Afghanistan complete the education denied to them by the Taliban. As a collective of more than 100 teaching professionals around the world, AFSO provides remote, real-time English language and college courses to more than 500 students, building a pathway for students to prepare for and apply to institutions of higher education that will launch their careers and allow them to return one day and lead their country into the future.

The Greater Sum provides strategic training and mentoring for early stage nonprofit innovators. We invest in organizations who are providing new solutions to old problems, and are ready to expand the scale of their impact. We share their stories so that other philanthropists like you have the opportunity to do the same. If you represent a grant-making organization and would like to be connected with these organizations, contact us directly and we’ll make an introduction! Individuals interested in connecting with AFSO, please visit their website for more information.

The Greater Sum supports organizations that are scaling their impact, either by expanding their service area or by teaching other organizations to replicate their innovation. Why are we excited about the Promising Practices cohort? Because they’re graduates of our Financial Strategy incubator, we know they’re mapping out a plan for sustainable impact. When they applied for funding they created a Pitch Deck that describes the problem the organization was founded to address, the solution they have created, and resulting outcomes. We invest in teams; the pitch deck shows how the leadership of AFSO is laying the groundwork for success.
