Te German Marshall Fund o the United States (GMF) is a non-partisan American public policy and grantmaking institu-
tion dedicated to promoting better understanding and cooperation between North America and Europe on transatlantic
and global issues.
GMF does this by supporting individuals and institutions working in the transatlantic sphere, by convening leaders and
members o the policy and business communities, by contributing research and analysis on transatlantic topics, and by pro-
viding exchange opportunities to oster renewed commitment to the transatlantic relationship. In addition, GMF supports a
number o initiatives to strengthen democracies.
Founded in 1972 through a gi rom Germany as a permanent memorial to Marshall Plan assistance, GMF maintains a
strong presence on both sides o the Atlantic. In addition to its headquarters in Washington, DC, GMF has six oces in
Europe: Berlin, Paris, Brussels, Belgrade, Ankara, and Bucharest. GMF also has smaller representations in Bratislava, urin,
and Stockholm.

Te Economic Policy Program is an initiative o GMF dedicated to promoting cooperation between the United States and
Europe on domestic and international economic policies as vital instruments o global prosperity, especially or the poor
and those aected by shis in the global economy. Te United States and Europe account or more than 40 percent o world
economic activity, close to $20 trillion in goods and services on an annual basis. Given the size and importance o this
relationship, GMFs Economic Policy Program seeks to ensure that the benefts o globalization are distributed equitably
and airly. Trough in-depth research, targeted grantmaking, strategic convening, and outreach to key policymakers and the
media, the program supports transatlantic leadership at the critical nexus o economic policy, trade, development assistance,
and management o domestic sectors such as agriculture.
