What Guides Us

We seek transformative change in the world, and in ourselves.

A Certified B Corp, Geneva Global is firmly committed to incorporating its values and principles into all aspects of how we work, from our culture and our teams to our client engagement and relationships. We seek to create and maintain a welcoming culture that is rooted in trust and fostered by our team members, who are purpose-driven, collaborative, caring, and highly motivated.

Our Commitment to Our Values and Creating a Welcoming Community

For Geneva Global and its employees to take an active part in how philanthropy evolves, we believe that continuous learning, sharing, and growing are critical. 

Our Vision and Strategy

To support a culture that is respectful, safe, open, curious, and inclusive of our values, our staff developed five Community Agreements, which codify how we work together. Meetings, professional development, employee assessment, and more are informed by these shared understandings. 

1

Create a culture rooted in trust.​

2

Embrace discomfort.

3

Center learning and growth.

4

Cultivate space for multiple experiences and voices.

5

Engage in frequent, open, and clear communication.

Values in Our Workplace

Within Geneva Global, everyone in the organization is responsible for advancing the company’s values and living its principles. To that end, significant effort is made to ensure every employee at Geneva Global is—and feels—seen, heard, and supported by their peers and our leadership. We incorporate our values into our workplace through: 

Culture Club

The Culture Club is a quarterly discussion series for Geneva Global and Global Impact staff that examines books, movies, television shows, podcasts, and other media related to our values. This regular meeting creates a space for learning, discussion, and growth.

Communications

Geneva Global shares its values internationally with staff, as well as within the broader philanthropic community through various communications.   

Corporate Social Responsibility

Since 2014, we have been intentionally using our corporate social responsibility funding to support organizations that share our values. We continue to explore ways we can provide support to local organizations through volunteering and pro bono work.  

Our Values and Our Clients

We have begun to learn as philanthropy professionals how our values are relevant to our client engagements and what it means to bring these values to life. For example: 

  • We’ve helped families embed more trust-based approaches to their giving as it aligned with their values and aspirations as funders.  
  • When sharing recommendations on giving, we include information about grantmaking best practices that center community and trust, which are informed by other leaders in this space. 
  • When asked by clients to identify organizations within specific issue areas, we prioritize finding organizations that promote positive community impact. For example, we recommend organizations that are rooted in communities because they can make deeper impact based on their proximity to the issues they’re addressing.
