"Our hope is that CIFF’s journey will be useful for all
who aim to make development more impactful."

CIFF’s commitment to improve the lives of children is made possible through its greatest asset—its people. The global CIFF team of staff and trustees has significant depth of experience in the business and non-profit sectors.

The Foundation is committed to maintaining a nimble and progressive orientation, and CIFF staff reflect this perspective. Many have demonstrated leadership in more than one industry or sector. The team includes international investment specialists, chartered accountants, management consultants, successful entrepreneurs as well as experts in specific areas of international development and humanitarian response. The result is a diverse, highly interactive and tight-knit team that strives toward collective effectiveness.

CIFF Trustees ensure a high degree of accountability and enhance the Foundation’s performance through their expertise in global markets, investment strategy and international development. Trustees bring a blend of leadership experience within Fortune 500 companies, global consultancy firms, top financial institutions, humanitarian organisations, government and UN agencies, as well as in other international foundations.

Each member of the CIFF team brings a hands-on orientation to his or her service. Staff and board members alike share a powerful commitment to CIFF’s mission and success to improve the lives of children.
