About this episode
Bree Carriglio discusses how FAR USA builds long-term nonprofit impact in Armenia through sustainable programs.
Nonprofits often face a fundamental tension: respond to immediate needs or build for long-term impact. For many organizations, limited funding, small teams, and constant pressure to deliver results push them into short-term thinking. But what does it look like to operate differently, to design programs that last, build financial resilience, and prioritize sustainability from day one? In this episode of The Charity Charge Show , Stephen Garten sits down with Bree Carriglio, Executive Director of FAR USA (Fund for Armenian Relief) , to explore exactly that. FAR has spent decades evolving from emergency relief to a comprehensive, long-term development model across Armenia, supporting communities through healthcare, education, and economic opportunity. In this interview, Bree shares how FAR approaches funding, accountability, donor engagement, and program design in a way that prioritizes lasting impact over quick wins.
