The
‘Business Development’ Program is yet another development program in which
associate members of GABM can seek to foster responsible corporate citizenship
and contribute to other vital social, economic and environmental
considerations, through GABM’s unique and sustainable business model.
GABM’s Funding Business Model
GABM
has developed its funding model in such a way that it would never have to
request donations from its associate members, besides from the annual
membership fees of course.
GABM
does not manage and/or allocate capital funds on behalf of its associate
members. GABM involve its associate members in its philanthropic programs for
two distinct reasons:
The
first reason is that GABM associate members are in control and manage their own
capital in the philanthropic programs they wishes to participate in. By
allocating their capital contributions directly to the applicable program, our
associate members know it reaches the intended purpose and that it will never
be lost or misappropriated through ineffective or fraudulent charity schemes.
GABM associate members can participate in as much programs as they like. They
can also decide whether their contributions will be off a capital or human
resources or of any other related nature.
Secondly,
by participating in specific GABM philanthropic programs, our associate member
philanthropists are experiencing the joy and satisfaction of the successful
outcomes of their various contributions.
GABM
has developed sustainable and unique funding models to fund its corporate
operations and philanthropic programs:
GABM’s
equity grants towards global natural and humanitarian disasters as well as its
corporate operations and infrastructure are funded from the funds generated by
the annual GABM associate membership fees.
In
order to fund its philanthropic programs, GABM establishes $1-Billion US Dollar
capital funds on regular intervals in which its associate members can invest
capital. Investment in these capital funds is completely voluntarily. GABM has
currently ten $1-Billion US Dollar funds, which fund business development
projects all over the world. The Board of Executives will duly notify its
associate members when a fund has been established, what kind of fund it is,
what the minimum investment amount is, when the fund will be closed, etc.
When
a particular $1-Billion US Dollar capital fund is fully subscribed, the
investing associate members appoint a management committee who will be
responsible to appoint an experienced Fund Manager to invest and manage the
capital on their behalf.
These
funds are required to generate bi-annual and/or annual income for the investing
associate members. The life cycle of each fund is perpetual, but investing
associate members can request the investment capital to be refunded after a
period of 10 years.
In
terms of an agreement with the GABM investing associate members, 50 percent of
all profits generated by these funds are donated to fund GABM philanthropic
programs as determined and selected by the fund manager of each applicable
fund, and the remaining 50 percent of the profits are paid back to the
respective GABM investing associate members.
Thus,
with a nominal investment in one or more of these capital funds, GABM associate
members can participate in numerous philanthropic programs without donating or
allocating capital at any stage, while simultaneously generating profits for
themselves at the same time.

funds are operational in the GABM portfolio:
