Partner organizations of this international conference
Geneva Foundation for the Future The Foundation team, specialized in the economic viability of change-making projects, combines Values and Trust for Impact Investments. Its multidisciplinary team is involved in the development of businesses and NGOs. In this context, it has observed a mismatch between interesting projects deserving of sponsorship funding and the requirements of public and private funding bodies, particularly in terms of project presentation for funding solicitation and - at the end of the exercise - reporting to meet their standards.This mismatch leads to a lack of productive interactions between projects and funding bodies. If brought together, the available funds that go unused and the serious projects that lack funding would have significantly higher societal impacts both qualitatively and quantitatively. The team aims to provide user-friendly and effective tools within a Foundation called the Geneva Foundation for the Future, which can also offer the necessary services, consulting, training, and coaching to the actors concerned in order to streamline all these interactions. The workshop will consist of cross-referencing the needs and methods of the different professions present (investors, financiers, bankers, philanthropists, project monitors, evaluators, project leaders) in order to consolidate the choices proposed by the Geneva Foundation for the Future.
