Bureaucracies and redtape are bypassed because the Foundation goes directly to local. nonGovernment organizations. A typical Foundation grant was recently made to the Holy Cross Fathers in Haiti. The grant. although small. will nonetheless enable IDEA. a churchsupported organization. to expand its adult education program and community development activities in Cap Haitien. Haiti. Considering the difficulties the United States is having in handling the Haitian refugee question. a grant that helps Haitians help themselves should not only be encouraged but applauded. The Foundation fosters creativity. It helps the poor to better themselves without making them permanently dependent on public funds.
