Funding Strategy
As the Iris Foundation has no source of income at this starting point, we are seeking:
Donations from individual philanthropists.
Grants from international child health and disability organizations.
Partnerships with local hospitals and health organizations.
Corporate social responsibility (CSR) partnerships with Tanzanian and global companies.
Fundraising events, awareness campaigns, and sponsorship programs.
