We knew this would be a challenge when we selected "the world" as our geographic target. It was very difficult to select just seven organizations when there are so many deserving causes, but a focused mission is a productive mission. Each selected organization is the result of months of research and outreach, and it has truly been an exercise of intellectual gymnastics (cross-training!) to determine which organizations‹and even macro level issues‹to pick on each continent. For a specific list of selection criteria, please see "The Organizations" section of the web site.
