The Foundation for Sustainable Development (FSD) is the fiscal agent for a number of projects in the developing world, run by individuals and groups from the U.S. As an IRS sanctioned not for profit (501c3) organization, FSD provides fiscal oversight for Projects of Hope; and in so doing, permits tax deductibility of donations.

FSD handles the financial aspects, including the budgeting and tax filing. You can read more about FSD here.
