Ways to give
Pick something specific and fund it.
Every option on this page has a price attached and a programme behind it. We would rather tell you what your money bought than how it made you feel.
El Calvario, Cali
Feed the street kitchen
A hot meal for 150 people, three days a week. A meal costs $5 — and because some ingredients are donated and the cooking is done by volunteers, your gift buys the part nobody gives away.
- $5One hot meal
- $75Fifteen meals
- $750Everyone who comes, for one serving day
- $2,250A full week — all three serving days
Risaralda & Chocó
Send a family relief package
Ten kilos of staples — cooking oil, rice, pasta, beans, panela — to households still living with earthquake damage. This is the one route on the site with a card payment form attached.
- $50One family relief package
- $250Five packages
- $500Ten packages
- $1,000Twenty packages
La Guajira · Cali · Medellín
Build a Transformation Center
The largest single thing a donor can buy outright. We can tell you exactly what the next one costs, because we have just built one.
- $20,000One complete rural centre — building, roof, slab, desks and every education supply inside it
- $50,000About what a centre costs in a city, where land and materials cost more
- $500,000The down payment on the Real Transformation Center campus in Medellín

Where it is needed most
An unrestricted gift lets us move quickly and cover the parts of the work nobody wants to fund. Send it by Zelle or cheque and say “unrestricted”.
Donor questions
Is my gift tax-deductible?
Cloud Foundation Inc. is a tax-exempt organisation under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code, EIN 88-2337360. Gifts from United States taxpayers are tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law, and you will receive an acknowledgement for your records.
If I give to a named programme, does it go there?
Yes. A gift to a named campaign is used for that campaign. If you give to the street kitchen it buys meals in El Calvario. If you would rather we used it wherever the need is greatest, say “unrestricted” and we will.
How does the money get to Colombia?
Cloud Foundation Inc. receives the gift in the United States and funds the programme through Fundación Cloud, our Colombian entity, constituted in 2018, which employs and directs the staff and volunteers who deliver the work.
Where do the numbers on this site come from?
Our own records. $5 is what a meal costs us. $20,000 is what the La Guajira building and its supplies cost. 120 families in Quibdó is the count the local church recorded when they handed the packages out. Where we cannot count something yet, we say so rather than estimating.
Do people have to be religious to receive help?
No. Assistance is provided on the basis of need. Nobody is required to attend or take part in any religious activity in order to be fed, taught or helped.
Why are there no photographs of individual children on this site?
Because we do not have written consent from their parents or guardians yet. When we do, and only for the children it covers, that will change. We also never publish images identifying people in prison, in addiction recovery, or in situations of exploitation.
Can I get a report on what my gift funded?
For gifts at partnership or major-gift level, yes — that is part of the arrangement. For smaller gifts, write to us and ask; we would rather answer than have you wonder.
Who do I contact if something looks wrong?
Write to director@fundacioncloud.com and say so plainly. Joel Manderfield reads that address.
