3 LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Dear Friends of the United Nations Foundation,

Twenty years ago, the UN Foundation was created out of a deeply held belief in the mission of the United Nations — to advance our shared humanity and possibilities. While we pledge allegiance to different ﬂags, our de- sire for peace, prosperity, and opportunity is borderless.

Today, just as in 1998, the world’s most se- rious problems transcend geography. Glob- al challenges — climate change, infectious “ Global progress doesn’t disease, strife, and poverty — are connected happen by accident; it and cannot be solved by any single nation on its own. happens because of collective action. Thanks to incredible It was clear two decades ago that the global partners working alongside community needed to strengthen its capacity to act together and put resources behind the UN, the world is the United Nations as the one organization healthier, more prosperous, dedicated to advancing the security, well-be- and more peaceful than ever ing, and dignity of everyone, everywhere. before. To continue down That’s why Ted Turner established the UN the path of progress, we Foundation with a $1 billion investment in the need to choose solidarity UN and UN causes. Ted’s gift also arrived at over division and continue to the beginning of a new wave of philanthropic activism that rose up in the following decades work together with the UN to to solve urgent international issues. leave no one behind.”

Global action and partnership sparked Kathy Calvin progress — vaccinating a record number of infants against preventable diseases, expanding access to modern contra- ception to more than 300 million women in developing countries, increas- ing the number of people with access to clean energy and mobile phones,

4 ending civil war, advancing human rights, and opening the doors of education to more girls than ever before. There have been difﬁculties along the way, but the lesson is clear: global cooperation – rooted in upholding human dignity – leads to global progress.

The UN Foundation has supported these efforts by bringing together powerful networks of business leaders, philanthropists, faith-based coalitions, governments, students, and civil society organizations to support the UN and its work. We have doubled the impact of Ted’s initial investment, and we have built the single largest-ever constituency of UN supporters in the United States.

But progress needs protectors, and we have new battles to ﬁght and hard-won achievements to defend.

In this turbulent and rapidly evolving world, the UN’s work is more important than ever. So is the work of those of us who support it.

As the UN and its Member States pursue a universal agenda for progress – the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – and strive to rise to the collective challenges before us, the UN Foundation will be there every step of the way.

From the beginning, the Foundation and our exceptional Board of visionaries and leaders have been guided by our belief in the power of collective action. We believe we all have a role to play in ensuring dignity and opportunity for every person. And for the past 20 years, we’ve been honored to partner with the UN and supporters around the world to champion the UN’s work, tackle our toughest global challenges, and realize our common aspirations.
