Announcement Description

BOOKBRIDGE was incorporated as a tax-exempted foundation in Basel, Switzerland in 2010. BOOKBRIDGE GmbH was setup in Neumarkt, Germany to separate its impact investing activities from its action learning programs that challenge the participants to step up and take real responsibility as a social entrepreneur in the field and work with a diverse team to co-create a tangible social enterprise to improve job and life chances of a deprived community. The GmbH is fully owned by the BOOKBRIDGE Foundation. The Foundation has closed partnership agreements with its country organizations and social enterprises that are all legally independent institutions in their countries to run its action learning programs.
