The Global Foundation

The Global Foundation is a not-for-profit and non-partisan international member organisation enabling prominent citizens, from across the world, to work together in shaping global affairs. Originating in Australia in 1998, the Foundation strives for the common good and has an unwavering commitment to integrity and ‘cooperative globalisation’. The Global Foundation is fully independent, and it is sustained by diverse membership and sponsorship contributions from enlightened private sector entities, universities, and individuals. The Foundation offers to governments the benefits of its unique methods of citizen-based engagement. As well as its highly successful Global Roundtable series, the Foundation also focuses on Australia's longer-term global strategy with an Australian Roundtable series. The Foundation has evolved as a model of cooperative globalisation with the support of prominent world figures.
