About the IE Foundation
Established in 1997, IE Foundation is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to enhance IE’s impact on society through initiatives powered by its own resources or through collaboration agreements with other partners.
The Foundation’s main goals are to generate projects and resources designed to further improve the quality of education, to create and manage applied research initiatives, to implement and fund scholarship programs, to nurture a culture of giving back, and to bring added impetus to IE’s strategic values.
Scholarships & Applied Research
Each year, the IE Foundation awards scholarships to students from all over the world thanks to the generous support of its donors, and, together with strategic partners, provides backing to applied research initiatives that impact fields like diversity and globalization, demographics and the generation gap, entrepreneurship, families in business and social innovation.
In the context of Africa, IE Foundation supports specific scholarships; projects run by IE’s Center for Diversity; the Global IE Initiative for Women Empowerment and the Financieros sin Fronteras initiative in Ghana.

My IE experience however was that and much more. It challenged and inspired me – not just in my perspectives about the world; business; and the future but in my fundamental passions; my motivations; and my thinking. There was a fork in the road, I chose IE, and my life will never be the same again!
