Samaritan’s Fellowship Earns GlobalGiving Vetted Organization Status

Samaritan’s Fellowship Foundation (SFFP) is proud to announce that it has officially earned GlobalGiving’s “Vetted Organization” status in Pakistan, reinforcing transparency and global nonprofit credibility. GlobalGiving.org is a globally recognized nonprofit crowdfunding and grantmaking platform.

This recognition affirms our compliance with international standards of governance, transparency, financial accountability, and programmatic effectiveness.

What the GlobalGiving Vetting Process Represents

GlobalGiving’s vetting process is structured and evidence-based. It includes:

• Legal registration verification
• Governance and board oversight review
• Financial documentation and compliance assessment
• Evaluation of program capacity and sustainability
• Confirmation of organizational legitimacy and operational history

Earning the “Vetted Organization” status indicates that Samaritan’s Fellowship Foundation meets rigorous due diligence requirements for nonprofit partners worldwide.

Strengthening Institutional Credibility

For international partners and donors, third-party validation is critical. The GlobalGiving badge enhances our institutional credibility by:

• Demonstrating financial transparency
• Reinforcing compliance with regulatory frameworks
• Validating our operational capacity in Pakistan
• Increasing donor confidence in measurable impact

This recognition complements our existing registrations and accreditations, including:

• Incorporation under Section 42 of the Companies Act, 2017 (UIN: 0097225)
• Registration with the Punjab Charity Commission
• Accreditation by the Pakistan Centre for Philanthropy (PCP)
• Tax-exempt status under applicable laws

Expanding Global Partnerships

As a GlobalGiving Vetted Organization, SFFP is better positioned to expand cross-border collaborations and strengthen access to international philanthropy networks.

Our work focuses on:

• Advancing equal human rights
• Promoting social justice
• Protecting minority rights
• Ending generational exploitation
• Strengthening democratic participation
• Delivering sustainable livelihood solutions

Through structured, community-based interventions, we aim to create measurable, long-term change across marginalized communities in Pakistan.

Accountability as a Core Principle

At Samaritan’s Fellowship Foundation, accountability is not a requirement — it is an operational principle. We maintain:

• Transparent financial management systems
• Documented program implementation frameworks
• Impact monitoring mechanisms
• Governance oversight through our Board of Directors

The GlobalGiving vetting outcome reinforces our commitment to responsible stewardship of resources entrusted to us.

Moving Forward

Recognition as a GlobalGiving Vetted Organization is both an institutional milestone and a responsibility. It strengthens our ability to scale programs, attract strategic partnerships, and deepen our impact.

We remain committed to advancing inclusive development, protecting vulnerable communities, and contributing to Pakistan’s democratic and social progress.
