The World Affairs Council believes that informed citizens can make a difference in the world. Founded in 1947 following the San Francisco conference that established the United Nations, we are a non-partisan, membership organization with local roots and global reach. Our mission is to explore issues and opportunities that transcend borders. Through our speaker events, education program, annual conference and extensive online resources, we engage the globally minded with ideas that stimulate, issues that matter and leaders who inspire. We are all about making connections—to others who share our hopes for a better world and to solutions that can help get us there. Website: worldaffairs.org.
A project of the World Affairs Council, the Global Philanthropy Forum aims to build a community of donors and social investors committed to international causes, and to inform, enable and enhance the strategic nature of their work. Through an annual conference and other events and programs, the GPF connects donors to issues; to effective strategies; to potential co-funding partners; and to emblematic agents of change from around the world. By building, and continually refreshing a lasting learning community, the GPF seeks to expand the number of philanthropists who will be strategic in pursuit of international causes.
