\n\t\t\tWhat We Do\t<\/h2>\n\t

Imagine a world where every nonprofit leader, teacher, and human rights worker has the support they need to not just cope with challenges but to turn them into opportunities for growth. That’s the world we’re building through the work of the ICF Foundation.<\/p>\n

The ICF Foundation serves as the nonprofit, philanthropic family organization in the ICF ecosystem. Through research, education, and coaching initiatives, we equip those on the frontlines of social change with professional coaching, empowering them to amplify their impact and create lasting, positive outcomes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tLearn More About the ICF Foundation\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n

\n\t\t\tIgnite: Lighting the Path to a Brighter Future\t<\/h3>\n\t

Ignite is our flagship project for social systems change. Through six-month, reduced-rate coaching engagements, we empower organizations committed to supporting the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals. By harnessing the collective power of ICF chapters, members, and credential-holders, we accelerate progress.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tScholarships: Education for All, Impact for All\t<\/h3>\n\t

We believe coaching education should be accessible to everyone, regardless of their background. That’s why we partner with ICF Coaching Education, ICF Credentials and Standards, ICF Professional Coaches, and ICF-accredited coaching education providers to offer coaching scholarships and resources that open doors for underrepresented individuals to step into the world of coaching and create a ripple effect of change in their own lives – and community.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\tCreating a Better World, One Special Project at a Time\t<\/h3>\n\t

We team up with organizations focused on making the world better by supporting at least one of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs serve as a global blueprint for tackling some of the world’s biggest challenges, like ending poverty, protecting our planet, inequality, and more. Do you know such an organization? We would love to hear about your special project ideas<\/a>. Let’s make a difference together.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\"A\n
