Who We Are
Development Solutions Foundation (DAS) is a nonprofit organization established by David Schneider and Nicolas Balcombe; both served extensively in humanitarian efforts in West Africa, Eastern Europe, South America, the Middle East, and other parts of the developing world. Inspired by their passion and compassion for the well-being of all people, the entire DAS organization seeks to improve the quality of life for people around the world. We do this by providing the right resources to the right people at the right time.
We build strong ties with organizations that help underserved communities directly and with donors who provide the funding and resources to ensure effective, efficient, and sustainable implementation of programs on the ground. At DAS, we believe that building and nurturing trust with our partners and donors make our response to humanitarian crises and natural calamities more immediate and more substantial.
