IDEX's Story
Since 1985 IDEX has been working with groups around the world that are creating lasting solutions to poverty in their communities.
IDEX was the inspiration of a group of returned Peace Corps volunteers who had a vision for a different kind of international development model. Together they created IDEX after seeing that small grants targeted to grassroots groups—who had the trust of their neighbors and the knowledge of what was needed in their own communities—was often more effective than traditional large scale philanthropy.
Today, IDEX’s grantmaking has grown to an all-time high. We currently work with partners and grantees in Guatemala, India, Mexico, Nepal, South Africa and Zimbabwe.

Famous quotes containing the word story:
“I should like to suggest that at least on the face of it a stroke by stroke story of a copulation is exactly as absurd as a chew by chew account of the consumption of a chicken’s wing.”
—William Gass (b. 1924)
