BEING A PARTNER

World Partners consists of people from all over the world who are engaged with each other on a "Partnership Basis". People who stand shoulder to shoulder for each other and for social purposes. Being a Partner means having the qualities of equality, openness, and a sense of mutual responsibility. As an organization, we want to be a partner for aspiring entrepreneurs.

Specifically, we also want to be an organization which will act as a catalyst to bring individuals, companies, and organizations in the West to be partners for enterprises and organizations in developing countries. In this role, everything is possible, from simply providing one-time advice or a gift to bringing about a worthwhile business relationship.

To provide expertise, financial support, or inquire about other partnership opportunities, please complete the attached partner form.

Personal input
We like to hear from people who want to make time available for World Partners. This can be done inside one of the clusters, at the World Partners office, or from your home. See Opportunities for current requirements. Are you approachable for industry specific advice or do you have knowledge of and experience in a specific country? Please let us know! You can also join us on a trip to visit a project.

Financial Support
Obviously, financial support is needed for the work of World Partners. We therefore very much appreciate your financial support. This can be done in various ways.

Donations: Periodic gifts make it possible to build continuity and to make an estimate as to how many projects we can support. One-time gifts are obviously also welcome. World Partners USA has IRS 501(C)3, non-profit status, so your gifts will be tax-deductible.

Estate Planning: Another popular way of giving is through estate planning. Feel free to contact World Partners and you financial advisor for more information.

Loans: All projects are expected to be profitable and have positive cash flow. Based on the business plan, there is the expectation that a possible loan can be repaid. World Partners chooses to operate also in high-risk countries. Loans are therefore accepted on the condition that World Partners does not have to warrant repayment.

Prayer
Last but not least, your prayer support is much appreciated. World Partners' activities have in the final analysis, a spiritual foundation. We think about Psalm 127:1 'Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it.'
