Funding & Support

We have a unique management model - utilizing only native Cambodians for all paid staff positions. All international directors, officers and managers are volunteers who pay their own expenses. This unique model allows us to accomplish a great deal with extremely modest administrative costs. Some organizations brag about their efficiency in having only 15-20% administrative and fundraising costs. Sustainable Cambodia's combined administrative and fundraising costs are under 3%, all of which is covered by the founders! So 100% of our funding from outside the organization goes directly into the on-the-ground programs.

The following organizations are major supporters of Sustainable Cambodia. They are a combination of Corporate Sponsors and Non-Profit organizations. They are all helping to change the world in very positive ways, and we are grateful for the help they have given our grass-roots organization.

Rotary Clubs (www.rotary.org)
Rotary International is the world's oldest and most international service organization, with over 1.2 million members in 32,000 clubs, in almost 200 countries. Rotary's motto is "Service Above Self", and Rotarians live their lives in accordance with this motto. Many of our Cambodian staff and leadership are Rotarians, and our National Coordinator in Cambodia was Charter President of Rotary Club of Pursat. Our Board of Directors and our international volunteers include many Rotarians, and a number of Rotary Clubs sponsor projects through Sustainable Cambodia. Rotary-sponsored projects often focus on water, health, education, empowerment and self-sufficiency, and several Sustainable Cambodia projects may be funded in part by Rotary matching grants at any given time. Each grant is supported and sponsored through a Rotary Club somewhere in the world. In addition to grants, many Rotary Clubs provide non-matching grant funding for specific programs, such as wells or education, and many Rotarians around the world are child sponsors or individual supporters. The Rotary motto of Service Above Self has helped transform lives in Cambodia.
