HF CA means Humaniti Foundation Canada, the Canadian registered charity. HF US means Humaniti Foundation US, the U.S. section 501(c)(3) public charity. Each foundation has its own responsibilities for the money it receives and spends, even where people involved in managing the two organizations overlap. HI means Humaniti International. HIF means Humaniti International Foundation. They are separate Canadian non-profit corporations. This guide takes their paragraph 149(1)(l) position as the accepted working basis. They are not Canadian registered charities or qualified donees under these documents. HI provides or arranges shared services and can also fund HIF. HIF receives project funding and ordinarily commissions implementing partners to carry out the work. An implementing partner is the organization delivering activities in the field. The implementation agreement calls it the “INTERMEDIARY”. A funder is the entity supplying project money. “Upstream” means toward the source of the funding; “downstream” means toward the organization carrying out the activities. For example, HF CA is upstream of HIF, and a local relief organization funded by HIF is downstream of HIF.
