Cause & Affect infuses funds DIRECTLY to those in need; by traveling to distressed regions and forming local partnerships, we search for the most effective means of distributing funds in order to assist individual families, schools, clinics and local non-governmental organizations (NGOs) that address the educational, health and environmental needs of underprivileged people on a global scale. We then report back to our donors with detailed field reports and documentation in order to raise awareness about these issues and provide positive feedback to our benefactors.
WHO? Born and raised in Chicago, Founder and President Adam Carter personally oversees every dollar distributed by Cause & Affect to impoverished people and families around the world.

HOW? By researching the issues in each region, Cause & Affect Foundation is able to identify the major issues. They then travel to that country and draw upon their international contacts in order to seek out well-run local organizations that are doing efficient work addressing these issues. Finally, they seek out the most beneficial means of distributing available funds, so their benefactors can see the results. Field reports, including photos and videos are sent back to their donors, allow donors to share in this life-saving work.
