Governments fund projects. Donors sustain independence.
Your support enables the Global Center to transform independent ideas into lasting policy change.
Today’s most pressing security challenges do not stop at national borders. Terrorism, violent extremism, transnational crime, and geopolitical instability require international cooperation, principled leadership, and strong multilateral institutions grounded in human rights and the rule of law.
For more than two decades, the Global Center on Cooperative Security has worked alongside governments, the United Nations, regional organizations, and civil society to develop practical, evidence-based solutions that make communities safer while strengthening human rights, accountability, and international cooperation.
Our work helps shape international policy, strengthen multilateral institutions, and build partnerships that address some of the world’s most complex security challenges.

Why Your Support Matters
Government and foundation grants make much of our programmatic work possible. They support specific projects, research initiatives, and technical assistance. What they rarely support is the independent institutional capacity that allows us to respond to emerging challenges, convene diverse stakeholders, engage policymakers, and advance innovative ideas that influence international policy.
That is where philanthropy makes a difference.
Your support enables the Global Center to:
- Sustain independent, nonpartisan policy research.
- Convene governments, the United Nations, and civil society to address difficult global challenges.
- Develop innovative ideas that strengthen international cooperation.
- Respond quickly to emerging opportunities where independent engagement can make a difference.
- Invest in the people and institutional capacity that transform ideas into lasting policy change
Independent Ideas. Practical Solutions. Lasting Impact.
Our recent Blue Sky report, Beyond Incremental Reform: Right-Setting Counterterrorism at the United Nations, demonstrates what independent policy leadership can achieve. The report provides a roadmap for strengthening the UN’s counterterrorism architecture while reinforcing human rights, accountability, and the rule of law. It has already helped inform discussions surrounding the 2026 review of the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy and reinforce support for preserving strong human rights and accountability commitments in the renewed Strategy.
But publications alone do not change policy. Lasting impact requires sustained engagement with governments, UN officials, practitioners, and civil society around the world.
Your support makes that work possible.
