PATHWAYS TO CHILDREN FOUNDATION

Pathways to Children Foundation is a Minneapolis-based 501(c)(3) that funds and coordinates international and domestic projects to improve education, health, and living conditions for children in extreme poverty. The organization carries out work primarily through partnerships with local NGOs, direct project funding (schools, wells, clinics) and short-term volunteer mission trips that bring U.S. students and professionals to project sites. Pathways emphasizes sustainability and local accountability: the board conducts periodic site visits, requires partner progress reporting, and uses measurable benchmarks to evaluate projects. The foundation has maintained annual Form 990 filings (most recently through fiscal year 2023) and reports operating activity and grantmaking in its public filings. In the last 2–3 years Pathways has actively fundraised and supported projects including the Jan Seva Center in Kolkata, India, and school/well projects in Belessa, Ethiopia, and has reported grants and financial activity (including grant support to academic partners) in its recent tax filings and public profiles.
