The Foundation for Global Community (FGC) is the current manifestation of a series of prior organizations, all of which have made their contribution, both financially and in terms of a legacy of experience and collected wisdom, to FGC. All these organizations, Sequoia Seminar, Women to Women, Building the Earth, Creative Initiative, Beyond War, and the Foundation for Global Community, have been iterations of a fundamental philosophy.
In disbursing and leveraging the assets collected during these various iterations, the Trustees have determined that all funded projects shall carry forward this fundamental philosophy, expressed in the following statement:
In addition to expressing and carrying forward this fundamental philosophy, all projects (organizations and individuals) funded by FGC will meet the following criteria:

The project will have a realistic and clearly defined global vision and purpose.
The project will have a strong educational component.
