At SBIF, we value both breadth and depth of impact. Building on decades of groundwork by our founder Richard Magid, we directly support dozens of changemakers in the U.S. and beyond — over 30 countries in total. These changemakers have already tangibly impacted hundreds more — and we’re just getting started.

Impact

From the glaciers of Pakistan, to the assembly halls of Geneva, to the streets of Victoria Falls, and more:

We support forces of nature. They impact communities around the globe.

Our “critical moment” support means that every dollar counts.
