Bertelsmann Foundation North America

The Bertelsmann Foundation, established in 2008, is the North American arm of the Bertelsmann Stiftung. We are a driver of social change. We are committed to promoting the freedom of individuals and societies, and international understanding. The Bertelsmann Foundation serves as an Euro-American bridge, communicating and showcasing best practices in foreign, economic and social policy to audiences on both sides of the Atlantic. We believe that challenges confronted on one side of the ocean are likely to arise on the other, and that Europeans and Americans can learn from each other's approaches.
