Hello!

In our last post we introduced you to one of our most active and progressive grantees: Thriive, and shared a brief story on our founder, Arthur B. Schultz- the inspiration for it all.

Thriive’s mission is to build prosperity and pay it forward in developing countries.Their innovative approach helps small businesses grow with needed capital, that they in return pay forward the assistance by donating job training and products to the most vulnerable in their communities.

With the support of Thriive, SH Tailor owner Nguyen Thi Hanh realized her dream of growing her business and helping poor children, like these little ones from a cash strapped home for mentally disabled children in Hue, Vietnam.

Hello!
We’d like to launch our grantee highlights with our largest grantee – Thriive – and the inspiration for it all, our Chairman Emeritus, Arthur B. Schultz.

And a note from our Executive Director, Rachael Richards:

Thank you to this remarkable visionary for shaping core values in my own life. He has taught me the value of giving back to one’s community (near or far… whatever inspires you), and giving what you can – be it time or resources. I strive to instill this value of giving in my children and am forever grateful to Arthur B. Schultz for his incredible generosity and vision that has made waves across the globe.

The Arthur B. Schultz Foundation: Advancing opportunities for women, entrepreneurs, and people with physical disabilities in developing countries.

We want to show the other story, the story of the hoards of people in developing countries who endeavor to establish communities, create sustainable solutions, and work together for a fulfilling livelihood. Their ideas to accomplish these goals are innovative and strategic. They are inclusive of marginalized populations and are compassionate to the environment and local wildlife. There is so much to learn from each other. Our cultures, ethnicities, religious preferences, gender, sexual orientation, economic status, physical challenges, political leanings seem to melt into the background, and though they are acknowledged and respected, they are not the focus of the relationships we build.

The Arthur B. Schultz Foundation would like to invite you to “Like” and “Share” our page so that we can provide you and your friends with a brief glimpse each week into some of the individuals and groups around the globe that are generating positive change for their communities. Our organization is funded by the generosity of Arthur B. Schultz. It is with gratitude for his compassionate capitalism that the stories we post are not a request for donations or other monetary assistance. However, if you find yourself moved by a story, we will include the organizations’ website so you can learn more about them. Our intention is to highlight their efforts and shed some light on their grassroots progress. Thank you!
