Heifer International is a 60 year old nonpartisan nonprofit that organizes grants of farm animals and agricultural training primarily in the Third World.

If you are part of an immigrant hometown association or you are affluent yourself it is now possible to donate US$ 20,000 or more and have it earmarked if there is a Heifer Program in your area.

Since the recipients are made to feel obligated to pass on their new knowledge and part of any increase in livestock after the first year this has a viral impact.

In the past Heifer chapters have been set up at Schools, Colleges and Churches without their donor paricipants knowing where their funds were going. With the donors themselves benefiting with their new earmarked donations feature Heifer will be tapping a new very directly interested source of funds.
