The UN Foundation is an independent charitable organization created to work closely with the United Nations to drive global progress and tackle urgent problems. Their hallmark is to collaborate for lasting change and innovate to address humanity’s greatest challenges. With an insider’s knowledge and outsider’s flexibility, they stay agile to get things done.
WHAT THEY DO
They advance human dignity and protect the planet through their work on transformative issues critical to humanity’s shared future. They strive to defend progress already made and unlock the collective promise of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) across interconnected issues, including climate, health, gender equality, human rights, data and technology, peace, and humanitarian response.
As a strategic partner of the United Nations, they bring together fresh thinking and diverse voices around innovative ideas to drive progress and tackle problems. They build communities of support and nurture initiatives to advance the dignity and well-being of people and planet.
Sometimes they work behind-the-scenes, shaping negotiations and connecting experts, advocates, and decision-makers. Other times they drive public awareness and involvement through communications, campaigns, and events. Always they work to build collective action through the UN, the only place where everyone on earth can have a voice.
