The Council Experience

The Council comprises our most distinguished circle of supporters, who benefit from an exclusive relationship with the organisation and its influential networks. Members of this invitation-only group come from diverse industries and all corners of the globe. They enjoy access to our Trustees and peer Council members — including former heads of state, diplomats, leading philanthropists and corporate executives.

The programme includes opportunities to join more than 60 members-only events annually, including our flagship biennial Board Meetings in rotating cities around the world. Donations from Council members support Crisis Group’s mission to prevent conflict and are tax-deductible in the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Belgium.

To know what’s really happening on the ground, I go to Crisis Group. Their work tackles the core causes of conflict and helps prevent wars before they start.”

Helima Croft Head of Commodity Strategy, RBC Capital Markets (New York)

Crisis Group’s incredible network includes community leaders in conflict zones, former heads of state and top business executives. I’m proud to serve on their Council, especially in this increasingly uncertain world.”

Sam Englebardt Founder, SEE Ventures (Los Angeles)
