Global Pipeline Projects

From community-led action to sustained impact

Our Global Pipeline Projects are the beginning of a portfolio of community, education, and economic-led initiatives that are already active. We collaborate with trusted local leaders and organizations to strengthen, scale, and sustain this work by building visibility, mobilizing resources, and supporting structured delivery.

Rather than creating projects from scratch, we help amplify community-driven efforts—bringing fundraising support, operational structure, and accountability so proven initiatives can reach more learners and families over time.

Projects move through clear stages—Live | Prep | Final—and are supported by shared standards, outcome tracking, and long-term sustainability planning.

After evaluating PlayForward, TOMA BAṜRE EDUCATION’s Fellow Analysts will travel to Southeast Costa Rica.

The purpose is to monitor and assess how donor contributions are advancing shared spaces → social cohesion → local resilience through our collaborative fundraising model.

Hands-on oversight ensures transparency, accountability, and measurable impact, giving donors confidence that every gift makes a tangible difference.

The Trust Factor.

Let’s be real—when it comes to fundraising, most people don’t just give to a cause… they give to people they trust. And one of the biggest reasons people hold back from donating is simple: they’re not sure where the money’s actually going.

That’s why collaborative fundraising matters. When multiple people or organizations come together, it creates built-in accountability. More eyes are on the process, so things stay transparent and honest.

Shared responsibility means less room for mistakes—or misuse. And when the fundraising effort is clearly supported by a team, not just one person, it sends a message:


This is real. This is organized. This is trustworthy.
