What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?

Financial Aid Fund

The financial need among Afghan students has only increased as Afghanistan's economy has all but collapsed and our female students are barred from the workplace. The Financial Aid Fund enables AUAF to continue to enroll students on a need-blind basis and to provide full-need financial aid packages to every student admitted to AUAF.

Every dollar pledged to financial aid is a dollar spent to educate.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

FAUAF aims to support higher education in Afghanistan. Our work aims to ensure that education prevails in Afghanistan, through academic institutions such as the American University of Afghanistan (AUAF).

Our goal is to support academic programs that educate and empower the future leaders of Afghanistan who will rise to meet the challenges of today and tomorrow.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

1. Directly support programs that:
- ensure Afghan students receive full-need financial aid for high-quality education.
- provide a diverse, equitable, and inclusive pathway to advanced higher education in Afghanistan.
- restore and preserve the secondary-to-tertiary education pipeline in Afghanistan.
- position Afghan women as leaders in their community through education and training.
- provide trauma-informed mental health services to Afghan students pursuing higher education.

2. Increase awareness and understanding of Afghan academic institutions in international communities through:
- Events, campaigns, and programs that spotlight these institutions, their work, and their needs.
- Inform and connect critical stakeholders on the status of higher education in Afghanistan.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

How we listen

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

Seeking feedback from people served makes programs more responsive and effective. Here’s how this organization is listening.

We shared information about our current feedback practices.

How is your organization using feedback from the people you serve?

To identify and remedy poor client service experiences, To identify bright spots and enhance positive service experiences, To make fundamental changes to our programs and/or operations, To inform the development of new programs/projects, To identify where we are less inclusive or equitable across demographic groups, To strengthen relationships with the people we serve, To understand people's needs and how we can help them achieve their goals
Which of the following feedback practices does your organization routinely carry out?

We collect feedback from the people we serve at least annually, We take steps to get feedback from marginalized or under-represented people, We aim to collect feedback from as many people we serve as possible, We take steps to ensure people feel comfortable being honest with us, We look for patterns in feedback based on demographics (e.g., race, age, gender, etc.), We look for patterns in feedback based on people’s interactions with us (e.g., site, frequency of service, etc.), We engage the people who provide feedback in looking for ways we can improve in response, We act on the feedback we receive, We share the feedback we received with the people we serve
What challenges does the organization face when collecting feedback?

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jul 01 - Jun 30

SOURCE: IRS Form 990 info

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
