GLOBAL NETWORK FOUNDATION MISSION

SIBF formed the Global Network Foundation (GNF) in 2002 to serve as a conduit for Fellows to pursue their philanthropic interests both at home and abroad. The Global Network Foundation's mission is to facilitate global philanthropy in partnership with foundations, corporations and individuals, by leveraging expertise, relationships and resources of SIBF members to further global understanding.

GNF Objectives

• Bridge cultural differences
• Support entrepreneurs around the globe to achieve business growth and competitiveness
• Create broadly based, global networks
• Provide enriched education programs on global business, political and cultural subjects
• Foster communication and understanding

"SIBF’s foundation offers rewarding opportunities for members to share their expertise and resources. From the leadership program in Central Eurasia, to the technology initiative in Tajikistan, to supporting healthcare and education for poor children in India – members are positively affecting communities around the world."
