Geneva Global in The Economist
Mar. 02, 2006
"[Geneva Global’s] 140 employees work with a network of over 500 voluntary associates in over 100 countries. It mostly concentrates on small projects, which it thinks have a greater impact. ‘In philanthropy, the stuff that will deliver most often gets least,’ says [former CEO], Eric Thurman.”
“[Geneva Global] challenges the big charities by finding a small, local group that is doing something well and is ready to scale up its operations. It sends potential donors a monthly catalogue with a choice of evaluated projects, and later provides feedback on what their money has achieved. ‘We want to be known for making a direct connection between the money…and lives changed,’ says Mr. Thurman.”
