Who Needs A LegUp?
People in economically developing communities worldwide who have the drive and potential to build brighter futures are ideal candidates for LegUp.
Rather than seeking handouts, they pray for a LegUp—an opportunity to succeed through their own efforts. They value dignity and respect for their God-given talents and abilities, wanting to be seen as capable and deserving of the chance to build their own path to success. By offering the support they need, we can help them unlock their potential and create lasting change in their communities.
98% of Every Dollar Donated Directly Funds Loans
When you donate to LegUp, 98% of every dollar goes directly to funding loans for entrepreneurs in economically developing communities. The LegUp partners fund most operational costs themselves to ensure that your generosity has maximum impact.
Volunteer-Run
LegUp is run entirely by volunteers who donate their time and expertise to administer the organization. None of the individuals who manage LegUp receive a salary, allowing us to focus all resources on fulfilling our mission and supporting those in need.
Support is Needed
LegUp’s partners fund most operational costs, allowing donations to directly support entrepreneurs. But to expand our reach and impact, we need new donors like you to help us empower more businesses.
Support Developing Communities When You Support LegUp
Donations to LegUp create a ripple effect of positive change, as the businesses we support uplift their surrounding communities. By supporting small businesses you help create lasting impact, such as:
Empowering Entrepreneurs
Donations provide aspiring entrepreneurs with the resources to start or expand small businesses, fostering financial independence and local innovation.
Creating Jobs
Supporting small businesses helps families achieve stability and reduces unemployment in underdeveloped areas.
Boosting Access to Education
Sustainable small businesses help families afford school fees and resources, enabling children to gain an education and break the cycle of poverty.
Enhancing Food Security
Support for agricultural businesses enables entrepreneurs to implement better farming techniques, increased yields, and improve food nutrition.
Improving Local Church Health
As new economic activity is created through recipient businesses, local churches are strengthened as members are offered more reliable and better paying job opportunities and churches experience more income through their own offerings to support their Pastors and needs of others in their church and community, breaking the cycle of dependency on outside support.
