OUR MISSION
Here at PISA, we are driven to do our part in making the world a better place. Our mission is to ensure that donors are able to provide 100% of their donation to charities; so that all of your donation is used by your charity.

OUR STORY
Working Towards a Better Tomorrow
PISA was founded by three friends who wanted to help those in need. These friends wanted to be able to support the organizations they, and others, knew were doing important work. Over and above their personal efforts, in that direction, they decided to bring in other enthusiastic dedicated people to build the organization.
Partners In Sharing Associates (PISA) was born in 2000 for this purpose. To help donors of all sizes provide support for charities in various places across the world. PISA sends 100% of donation funds to beneficiaries. Any processing cost is met by PISA. PISA has been awarded a tax exempt organization status by the IRS. PISA is a Pennsylvania 501(c)(3).
