Read about our values and internal policies that govern the IFS Foundation.

Governance

The IFS Foundation depends on the ongoing support of our donors and volunteers. Thank you to all those who have supported the IFS Foundation and followed our progress in Sri Lanka. Without you, we would not be able to have the opportunity to make a difference.

We are committed to open communication and being transparent about our work. We take responsibility for using our funds effectively and achieving results. We are accountable to our supporters, partners, and the communities we work with.

IFS Foundation Trustees

Each of the IFS Foundation entities is governed by a board of trustees. They ensure that the charities’ activities align with our set purpose, that our resources are used efficiently, and we maintain our values. We have trustees acting on behalf of the US, UK, Canadian and Sri Lankan entities. Our IFS Foundation Chairperson, Stephen Keys, sits across all four boards to ensure consistency and appropriate collaboration. All of the trustees have been selected due to their passion for the cause and the variety of skills that they possess.
