Fund For Global Education
Founding Executive Director, East Coast or West Coast USA
The Fund for Global Education's vision is to give promising leaders from around the world the opportunity to participate in international educational programming, regardless of income. Our mission is to identify outstanding leaders, connect them with international educational training programs, and help obtain funding to make this training possible.
We know that global exposure is critical to creating leaders able to compete in the global economy; yet, just one percent (1%) of all U.S. students study abroad. Statistics for minority and low-income students who study abroad are equally as appalling. Statistics for people from emerging markets barely exist.
The Fund is dedicated to bridging the information gap between our scholars and international educational training programs. In order to achieve our mission in the most efficient manner, we partner with organizations that have already identified high-need / high-potential students and organizations that offer top-quality international education and training programs.

The ED will lead the establishment of the Fund in all aspects, including fundraising, securing its legal status as a tax-exempt 501c3 organization, building a network of volunteers, building the reputation of the Fund, building relationships with strategic partners, and in all other steps required to establish the Fund as a major force in international education.
In summary, the ED will be responsible for:
