OTHER SUPPORTING ORGANIZATIONS
To help fulfill its mission, IESE benefits from the contributions of several foundations. These are independent entities with their own governing bodies and no legal ties to IESE. They are therefore free to make decisions independently, in accordance with their own organizational charters. However, given their invaluable contributions to IESE, this annual report would be incomplete without a brief mention of them. More information about these foundations can be found in their own annual reports.
INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION FOR EDUCATIONAL DEVELOPMENT
This goal of this nonprofit cultural foundation based in Spain is to support cultural and education initiatives. To this end, it awards university scholarships, provides funding for cultural and educational centers, promotes scientific research, supports university and educational publishing enterprises as well as school libraries, and carries out social and economic development and volunteer work.
The foundation has partnered with IESE for ten years, during which time it has helped build some of the facilities used by the school, such as the ones added in the expansion of the Barcelona campus (North campus), inaugurated in January 2007. The foundation led a broad fundraising campaign that benefited from both businesses and individuals, especially alumni.
The Foundation is listed in the Register of Foundations published by the Generalitat de Catalunya, the regional autonomous government of Catalonia.
