Review for Thousand Currents, Berkeley, CA, USA

Rating: 5 stars  

IDEX is one of the best non-profits I have been part of. As a recent graduate, finding a place to apply your gained skills and knowledge while staying true to your values and feeling that you can make a difference in the world is not easy. IDEX gave me the opportunity to do just that. With its values of supporting grassroots solutions free from external agendas, believing in local knowledge and leadership as important factors to create sustainable development at all levels, and having open communication and transparency with partners and community, I believe IDEX is revolutionizing the meaning of international aid, funding, and philanthropy, while supporting innovative community led solutions to problems we all have to confront today at different scales. This is something I only read in books as examples of scattered attempts to create sustainability around the world, and I was happy to find that IDEX is doing it in real life!
