The UNIDROIT FOUNDATION seeks to aid UNIDROIT in the latter’s effort to provide driving international leadership in matters within its scope, with a particular focus on topics or areas expected to gain importance to Governments and parties subject to transnational private law.

The UNIDROIT FOUNDATION’s operating policies are centred on raising funds and carrying out activities that are complementary to and supportive of the core work of UNIDROIT. Such activities do not entail or imply the use of resources allocated to the UNIDROIT Work Programme or any impact on that Work Programme. Rather, such activities augment and reinforce the core mission of UNIDROIT.

The UNIDROIT FOUNDATION’s approach to fundraising is based on a close link to the content of UNIDROIT’s work. In conducting its fundraising and other activities, the UNIDROIT FOUNDATION inter alia works through the global network of scholars, companies, and individuals that have contributed to and benefited from the work of UNIDROIT over the years and see its importance in the future.
