Geneva Global, Inc.

Geneva Global has provided invaluable services both to my private family foundation and in my fiduciary roll as chairman of a major orphan-focused public foundation. I first discovered Geneva Global about three years ago, after it was brought to the attention of the public foundation’s board that some of our philanthropic grants to build orphan homes internationally had been misappropriated. It became apparent through the experience that we did not have the staff or ability to cost-effectively do the level of due diligence, research, and ongoing monitoring necessary to prevent a similar situation from occurring in the future.

Geneva Global's ability to provide us with extensive due-diligence, research and reporting, both pre and post grant dollars sent, has given us the fiduciary comfort needed and results desired. From my personal life lessons learned as an entrepreneur, private equity investor and now philanthropist, I believe effective philanthropy requires total transparency and the right balance of "head and heart". Geneva Global has helped provide both, which is why today they are my exclusive international philanthropic facilitator and a trusted advisor.

As part of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief’s New Partners Initiative, Geneva Global is one of the organizations we rely upon to make our programs strong and effective in the field. Geneva Global's work in Ethiopia and Cote d'Ivoire, along with the other NPI partners, truly enhances the U.S. response to the global AIDS pandemic. We are truly touching millions of lives, and giving those in need reasons to hope.

The field of philanthropy is changing rapidly, as more and more donors seek to apply good business practice to their charity. Geneva Global is on the cutting edge of this change.

I strongly recommend this organization as a great asset to potential donors who wish to support people and organizations that are working as agents for change in situations where there is great need, as well as supporting those who are working hard to implement significant developments.
