Category: International
DescriptionHeadquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, the Foundation was founded with proceeds from the Duty Free Shoppers business. The Foundation focuses its grantmaking on programs and projects that address international social and environmental issues, particularly those that have a major impact on the lives of the disadvantaged. Topics of interest are child abuse, climate change, marine conservation, housing and homelessness, international human rights, issues affecting women, learning differences, Denmark, Zimbabwe, and special interest issues. The Foundation funds projects that target root causes; demonstrate solutions that can be adopted by permanent providers and/or by government; mobilize financial commitment from a range of different sources; promote collaboration among organizations and funders; involve the target population in the project’s planning and implementation; and demonstrate good financial and organizational management. Additional information including funded topics by country is available on the Web site. In the United States, funded areas include climate and the conservation of the marine environment.
