Global Business Travel Association Foundation
The Global Business Travel Association (GBTA) Foundation connects the business travel world and promotes the value of business travel management by providing financial resources to conduct research initiatives, support educational and research offerings for business travel industry professionals, and provide scholarship opportunities for business travel professionals.
Continuing a 16-year relationship with ADS’ consultants, the Foundation retained Association Development Solutions (ADS) to conduct a $8 million capital campaign designed to fund research, global programming, and long-term sustainability. Securing the largest six and seven-figure commitments in the Foundation’s history, GBTA leaders and ADS executives exceeded the fundraising goal despite the declining economic conditions of the recession in 2008.
Following the 2008-2012 campaign effort, ADS further assisted the Foundation in raising nearly $3 million in new dollars through ongoing fundraising services. As GBTA increased its international footprint, ADS also was retained to coordinate its global fundraising efforts, implementing development efforts in Europe, Latin America, and Asia.
