Mission
Partners for Better Futures (PBF) helps improve the lives of poor people around the world, primarily focusing on children and education. PBF does this by partnering with local organizations that are deeply involved in their own communities, and participating in carefully evaluated projects and programs. There are three programs within PBF: Build a School in Burma (BSB), Build a School in India (BSI), and APC School - Philippines (APC). Prior to the PBF's founding these programs had each operated for several years through "fiscal sponsors." In 2018 these operations joined together in a shared purpose, to help produce better futures for under-served people around the world.

"APC School" program made grants to support ongoing operations of Apu Palamguwan Cultural Education Center (APC) which provides an integrated and holistic education for the indigenous children and youth along the Pantaron Range of Mindanao, Philippines. The APC school works to promote and deepen cultural understanding while providing approximately 400 indigenous children with the knowledge and skills they need to confidently relate with mainstream Philippine society and advance in the formal education ladder.
The Build a School in India (BSI) program made grants to increase access to education primarily to disadvantaged students in rural India. This included the following grants: a grant to Anandakshan, a grant to ASHA Action Self Reliance Hope, a grant to Cochlea Pune Hearing & Speech, a grant to Harali SEUS Support Education, a grant to Holistic Education Mission, a grant to JP Harali, a grant to Kiran Educational Trust - Foundation Academy, a grant to Mata Balak Utkarsha Pratishthan, a grant to Sondara, a grant to Srotoshwini Trust, and a grant to Unnatia Institute.
