Tips for Applicants
The Global Foundation appears to be a convening and networking organization rather than a traditional grant-making foundation with open application processes. Their focus is on fostering dialogue and collaboration among influential global leaders and members.
Giving Philosophy
The Foundation's mission is 'Together, we strive for the global common good', aiming for a sustainable and secure future where people live with dignity and a shared sense of humanity. They operate on the principle of 'cooperative globalisation,' which prioritizes consensus over conflict and seeks win-win outcomes. This approach is guided by four principles: transformation, inclusiveness, fairness, and prosperity.
