Overview

Mission

Facilitating and providing coordination for educational and cultural exchanges between USA professionals and their respective counterpart leaders in the countries undeveloped and weakly connected to the United States and other Western Countries.

What it reported doing in 2025

The organization facilitates goodwill and dialogue between western leaders and their counterparts in emerging and non-integrated countries around the world. Our vision is to see a world connected to the global marketplace through personal, trusting, cross-cultural relationships, building peace and increasing understanding through these business and marketplace initiatives.

Operating model

Revenue model
Donor-supported. 93% of the money available for current operations came from contributions and gifts.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

SUPPORTED - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and most voting board members are independent. The filing reports few safeguards for money sent abroad and the filing does not identify recipients for some grant dollars.
