History

Global Impact was founded in 1956, when four international charities joined together to form a federation to participate in federal workplace giving. By the 1980s, the number of member charities had grown to approximately 50, and the organization was also representing its member charities in state government and private sector workplace giving campaigns.

In the 1990s, the organization expanded into local government workplace giving campaigns and began to offer add-on services such as state registration and cooperative advertising to boost the visibility of member charities. In 1996, Global Impact was named the Principal Combined Fund Organization for the Combined Federal Campaign-Overseas, which began the organization’s long-history of helping to administer the federal government’s annual workplace giving campaign.

Throughout the next two decades Global Impact continued to expand its work with the Combined Federal Campaign, as well as with local, state, and private sector workplace giving campaigns—and today represents member charities in nearly 300 campaigns around the country.

In December 2023, Global Impact Ventures, a family of mission-driven organizations that serve all of philanthropy for a better world, was launched, unifying Global Impact, Geneva Global, Capital for Good, and GI Social Welfare Fund. Together the organizations have a geographic reach that spans the Americas, Europe, Africa, Australia and Asia, and have collectively raised and influenced billions of dollars in philanthropic giving.
