For the 10th consecutive year, the Global Gift Foundation organized a charity gala on October 30 in Paris. This event took place at the 4 Seasons Hotel, George V (75008) in the presence of many international personalities.
What is the Global Gift Foundation?
In June 2013, Maria Bravo and Alina Peralta created the Global Gift Foundation. It is a European charity registered in Spain. This foundation carries out philanthropic actions by organizing events around the world such as Cannes, Dubai, London, Marbella, Mexico City and Paris.
The aim is to raise funds for foundations, charities and fiscally responsible organizations. It is also creating partnerships not only in the United States as elsewhere in the world. These actions must bring about a significant and lasting change in the lives of women, children and their families. Among the beneficiary foundations are Dubai Cares, Fundación Bertín Osborne, Fundación Isabel Gemio, Televisa Foundation and Unicef France.
In nearly 10 years, GGF USA has duplicated the success of the European section by developing fundraising initiatives in North, Central and South America, to raise awareness of causes and effect lasting change in areas such as poverty, access to care by raising significant funds and raising awareness of several causes around the world with the aim of creating lasting change in the areas of poverty, access to health care or education.
