The Better World Fund
was created in 1998 by entrepreneur and philanthropist
Ted Turner. The Better World Fund builds and
implements public-private partnerships to
address the world's most pressing problems,
and works to broaden support for the UN through
advocacy and public outreach.
The Better World Fund coordinates several
domestic advocacy and partnership efforts.
Through our campaigns and partnerships, we
seek to make it easy for corporations, nongovernmental
organizations, and individuals to engage in
the work of the United Nations.
The
Better World Fund is governed by a small and
cohesive Board of Directors who share a commitment
to the goals and objectives of the UN Charter
and the UN's work on behalf of economic, social,
environmental and humanitarian causes.
