Setting New Standards
for Philanthropy
A clear leader in a confusing landscape
Today, GGI is among the world’s leading advisory service providers in international philanthropy. Geneva Global was founded by an international investment group called Legatum (formerly known as Sovereign Global) who were seeking professional philanthropic advice that met the investment banking standards they were used to. The lack of such services led them to found Geneva Global in 1999. They equipped the new international philanthropic advisory firm to offer individuals, companies and foundations world-class research and advice.
Results Oriented
By bringing an investment mind-set to international giving, we helped build a new market in which philanthropic investors expect quantifiable results from their grants. By 2005, we were working with 45 clients who had invested more than $10 million in grass-roots implementing organizations in developing nations. Our research and consulting services enabled our clients to clearly understand the difference their giving made – measurable improvements in the lives of more than 2 million people in the world’s poorest countries. Today, we've helped over 70 clients to invest more than $81 million in international granting, improving more than 6 million lives in some of the world's hardest places.
Practical, Lasting Solutions
Our clients know that philanthropic investment combined with indigenous creativity creates practical solutions to some of the world’s most life-threatening problems. We look forward to working with you to help maximize the effectiveness of your giving, and improve lives and impoverished communities in lasting ways.
