Global Environment Facility

Global Environment Facility (GEF) is the largest multilateral trust fund focusing on enabling developing countries to invest in nature and supporting the implementation of major international environmental conventions. Established in 1991, GEF has provided over $114 billion in grants and mobilized in excess of $70 billion in additional financing for more than 4,000 projects. GEF is an international partnership of 184 countries, international institutions, civil society organizations, and the private sector, addressing global environmental issues. With its slogan "Tackling our planet’s most pressing environmental problems," GEF embodies a commitment to confronting the most critical environmental challenges. Based in the United States, GEF plays a crucial role in shaping the future of environmental sustainability, making it a compelling prospect for venture capital considering its meaningful global impact and significant funding history in the realms of Financial Services and Health Care.
