Global Initiatives Foundation is a pioneering organization - paving new ground with faith-based economic community development agendas that make a difference - catalysts for change in a time of growing challenges.

Despite the good intentions of the Church and Western humanitarian benevolence, more than two thirds of the world has little to no middle class. Making a difference requires something more. Making the type of change that endures boils down to issues of strategy.

Economic development without local community involvement will never achieve more than band-aid results. By partnering with local communities of believers, Global Initiatives starts with those who have a personal stake in the impact. Through training and mentoring, along with employing faith-based principles of leadership, community and entrepreneurship, our programs employ both top-down and bottom-up approaches that have been proven to work in the most adverse of situations.

Global Initiatives' efforts have extended to five continents and fourteen nations. As pioneers setting the pace for spiritually-minded business leaders who desire to make a difference, our Global Equippers Entrepreneurial Program imparts hope and equips believers in lands with challenging and emerging economies as economic community builders. Through its own initiatives and as a catalyst in mobilizing others, Global Initiatives is advancing a mix of top-down and bottom-up economic and community strategies found in God's Word. 

Join with us in sponsoring a workshop, or the start of a business that feeds a family, or in starting a community cooperative. Likewise, support of our leadership forums will serve to train entrepreneur enablers who wield the spiritual capital to glean opportunity, build community and facilitate the process of transforming their communities.

Established by Morris and Carol Ruddick, Global Initiatives is at the forefront of God's marketplace agendas and faith-based initiatives programs, as well as serving as ambassadors of hope in arenas where God's light is dim.
