"We must turn outward to effect change in the world. Not every contribution is obvious and tangible...While wordsmithing is indeed my trade, I know in the end, actions really do speak louder than words. This is, of course, why The Resource Foundation is so important to me. Through the efforts of the dedicated people who work with TRF to serve the poor in Latin America and the Caribbean, we will effect positive change and help people improve their lives."

- Carla Volpe Porter, General Counsel, Renaissance Technologies LLC, New York, NY, and Board Member of The Resource Foundation

"I am very touched by the opportunity to share with our readers the reasons for my involvement with this small, great North American foundation. I met Loren Finnell in 1986 when he was beginning to give form to what would become The Resource Foundation. I had just launched a Spanish foundation with the similar focus of empowering local nonprofit organizations in developing countries. Over the years, Loren and I remained in touch and in 1992, he invited me to join The Resource Foundation’s Board of Directors. I accepted with the profound belief that synergy must be the keyword for those of us working in the international collaboration sector."

- Rafael Guardans Cambó, Executive President, FUNDESO, Madrid, Spain, and Board Member of The Resource Foundation

"International giving is a critical responsibility for all American citizens. Our footprint on the world is very large and we must be sure our actions are positive and highly visible to all. As a Board member of The Resource Foundation for the past 15 years, I am assured that these goals are being met as every project and every agency is carefully selected to ensure maximum impact and accountability."
