OUR MISSION
We feel the people who make the most difference are the ones who work at the local level, building self-sufficient communities. That’s why we support small, grassroots organizations that provide the fundamental tools that people need to rebuild their lives - better education, better nutrition, better mental health care, and better financial practices.
FISHNET is our way of connecting you with these small charitable organizations that are getting the job done. You won't find big-budget charities with huge overheads here. What you'll find are real people - working people - planting the seeds of self-reliance in their own backyards. You can use FISHNET's cutting-edge technology to interact, donate, and watch your charitable dollar make a difference in someone's life. It's our way of combining digital technology and philanthropy to bridge the economic gap, one person at a time

FISHNET helps grassroots organizations working in: |
||
FISHNET is a project of The Fish Foundation, an organization dedicated to building stronger, self-reliant communities in impoverished areas of the United States.
We started the Foundation in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. The disaster highlighted the problem of poverty in the richest nation on Earth. Thousands of poor Americans were stranded without the tools to rebuild and revitalize their communities. Even today, New Orleans and other areas affected by the hurricane are struggling to rebuild in the face of overwhelming neglect, corruption and despair.
We believe that the solution to end poverty in New Orleans and around the country isn't a hand out, it's a hand up.

| Our motto is: | ||
|
Give someone a fish and you feed them for a day; teach someone to fish and you feed them for a lifetime. |
