Dear Imago Dei Fund Partner:I am excited to share the outcome of our 2018 strategic planning process. Thank you for yourpatience as we took a pause for critical reflection.IDF’s Strategic Focus 2018-2021Per my prior message, Imago Dei Fund’s mission will continue as it is:Motivated by our faith and a commitment to the inherent dignity and common humanity of allpeople, we invest around the world in visionary and impactful organizations working to advanceuniversal human rights, gender balance, justice and spiritual holism. Our mission is to co-createa more just and more free world in which all human beings can thrive and flourish together.Over the next three years, IDF will be focusing its funding and support primarily in the followingareas:Supporting Women and Girls to Thrive and Flourish: Working alongside partners who areremoving barriers and increasing access for women and girls in education, health, and theeconomy, so that they can reach their full potential. We also seek to partner with thoseaddressing human rights issues for women and girls including sex-trafficking, slavery, andgender-based violence as well as supporting refugees.Church as Change Agent: Supporting efforts to engage the prophetic energy of faith to creategender balance, improve the lives of the most marginalized, and provide soul care.Being a Good Neighbor in Boston: Support community-driven development efforts in our ownbackyard and work with churches and NGOs to tackle human rights issues at home and aroundthe world.While we are excited to work in each of these areas distinctly, we are particularly excited topartner with organizations working at the intersections of these areas:Supporting Women& Girls to Thriveand FlourishChurch AsChange AgentBeing a GoodNeighbor inBostonSelection CriteriaIn addition to alignment with one or more of the above themes, we will apply three lenses to ourdecision-making processes based on our values:Gender Balance: A world where inequalities persist is a world out of balance. We partner withorganizations with active strategies to co-create a world where the masculine and the feminineexist in balance, mutuality, and justice.Faith/Inspiration: Motivated by our Christian faith, our love of humanity, and our sharedcommitment to accomplish good things together, we partner with visionary and impactfulorganizations to restore the imago dei (“image of God”) in our world where it is mostthreatened and vulnerable.Community-Driven Development: We are particularly led to holistic approaches which tap intoand unleash a process of indigenous-led, community-driven social transformation, addressingthe needs of the whole person—body, mind, and spirit—and seeking to address the deeper rootsof underlying humanitarian problems.The following explains a bit more about how we are rolling out this new strategy.ï· If you are a current grantee partner whose grant ended in 2017 and you have notreceived an additional grant since then, we are currently reviewing your materialsincluding your final report.
