Technical information on the Endowment Fund
Robert’s vision was of a world where sustainable business is at the heart of development, where all businesses bring unique skills and resources to provide solutions in areas such as education, health, job creation, security and business standards.
This Fund will contribute to this vision by furthering IBLF’s work, unlocking the power of business to meet community challenges across the globe and providing the opportunity to explore new challenges.
Robert Davies, 2007
The Fund will provide essential support to build cross-sector solutions to key sustainable development issues. It will convert pioneering ideas into concrete action and tangible results by enabling IBLF to:
- Anticipate more key issues - commercial and societal - ahead of the evidence,
- Challenge preconceptions and drive more change by expanding our unique network of leaders from business, government and civil society,
- Develop models and tools that test ideas and promote cutting edge practice.
The Endowment Fund is registered for tax-efficient giving in the United States and United Kingdom.
