While we have already built a strong presence in China and Vietnam, we are also now helping the under-served in Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, Nepal, and Haiti. We have a total of 40 active projects in 9 countries. Screened over 800 cumulative NGO applicants and selected more than 30 each year to partner with while also fundraised for these NGO partners in the US. Stories were shared and updated for these NGOs which lead to the creation of the 2016 Annual Report and the 2016 Impact Reports telling donors how each of their donated dollars was spent. Staff performed field visits and due diligence reports for strategic partners. Since we started, we have performed over 125 field visits. The following was also done as of 2016 cumulatively: Financial Accountability: 275 quarterly financial reports and 750 monthly project reports submitted Social Media Transparency: 13,000 project update blog posts from 360 NGOs Due Diligence: Over 125 project visits by our staff Sustainability: 60 NGOs demonstrate long-term potential; 10 have found their own additional sources of funding because of our partnership and accreditation Graduations: 360 NGOs completed one of the three-level training programs Strategic Partnerships: 25 NGOs have graduated from our Strategic Partnership Program.

| Form 990, Part III, Line 1 | Transparent Fish Fund, Inc. was founded to connect credible Chinese and East Asian grassroots NGOs with individuals from the West. The greater mission behind this work is to foster a sustainable long-term NGO culture in East Asia, and in doing so, spread a global spirit of philanthropy: (i) Identifying and partnering with the most promising grassroots NGOs in East Asia to provide them with long-term fundraising, marketing, capacity building resources and support from Western nonprofit culture; (ii) Educating the West on nonprofit development in East Asia and ways to support and encourage the establishment of a sustainable NGO infrastructure abroad;and (iii) Facilitating financial accountability and transparency in East Asia nonprofit organizations by requiring and disclosing partners' financial reports publicly. We firmly believe that accountability should not end when donations reach their intended recipient, but that it should extend to ensuring the recipient uses financial contributions publicly. |
