Center for Global Initiatives, Inc

My experience with the Center for Global Initiatives has continued to be outstanding for multiple years running and the resources offered keep getting better and better. It is a fantastic source for up to date and state of the art humanitarian work across the globe. There are also offerings for advanced study in areas of specialized expertise.

The relevance and timeliness of well curated humanitarian information related to current events is exceptional. The amount of free resources is vast, yet well organized and easy to access. The Center for Global Initiatives continues to lead the charge in raising the bar on sharing open sourced information for the benefit of all human kind.

The Center for Global Initiatives continues to show us what it looks like to be a leader for social change, tirelessly tackling complex issues with imagination, empathy and keen understanding of intersectionality.

CGI is a world-class organization with the utmost integrity and commitment to its mission of educational, support and healthcare resources in underserved populations worldwide.

CGI has always been on the cutting edge. From its inception it empowered the local community to create sustainable change. It’s belief in sharing knowledge and resources has opened a path for many others to do life-changing work

From our initial connection with Dr Chris Stout CGI has been an extremely impressive and seemingly inexhaustible reservoir of invaluable information in the global humanitarian non-profit community. There is seldom a time when we are not receiving timely and relevant communications from CGI’s treasure trove of free material cascaded across different social media platforms. An example is Chris’s appropriately-titled podcast, Living a Life in Full, which is educational for the curious and inspirational for those looking to stretch boundaries. It continues to astound how one organization can be so effortlessly prolific and giving vis-à-vis its output!

Thanks for your commitment to improving our communities despite the challenges that face us all. You are an inspiration!

This nonprofit is unique in its World View of helping. I have supported its efforts from the beginning as a leader in making change for all humanity. If there is one lesson from the pandemic that we should keep close to our hearts it is how much we are one global community and CGI is our mentor, our role model and leader in the consciousness of helping our fellow man no matter how far away from home.

Yellowbrick Foundation has been a financial and emotional supporter of the Center for Global Initiatives since inception. Chris Stout is a visionary with energy and talent which he tirelessly applies on behalf of supporting health reform and care in developing areas throughout the world. CGI is fiscally responsible and merits our support.

I have followed the Center for Global Initiatives for a number of years. It is undoubtedly the richest platform of open source humanitarian resources available. All of the resources are well vetted and shared in the spirit of helping others to help others.

I highly recommend the Center for Global Initiatives as not only an outstanding nonprofit organization, but as a nonprofit organization that constantly helps other nonprofit organizations to be at their best. Dr. Stout's seasoned expertise and kind wisdom continues to draw out excellence in response to human needs across the world.

During my experience working alongside CGI, I saw firsthand the positive impact it has on our world. CGI enables experts to do what they do best in the way that maximizes their potential.

CGI is an organization providing a world wide view of issues pertinent to communities with significant needs. Under the leadership of Dr Stout CGI offers a wide range of networking information, contacts, and the ability to connect with others to understand the paths they took to a more self sustaining environment . It offers both hope and a way to work on real policy changes that can transform a community from an unhealthy life to one that allows for true human potential to exist and grow. Be part of this in whatever way works for you, volunteer, donate, participate, you’ll benefit as will CGI and it’s global partners.

This nonprofit provides a lot of timely, relevant information on a variety of key global issues in different areas. It is a great resource and is generous in the amount of information and resources it shares

The Center's leadership and mission to realize self sustaining solutions is so needed and important.

This great organization accentuates the works of others efforts trough resources, collaboration, and support. Their mission is the maximization of diverse and dynamic missions around the world. Cheers to Dr. Stout and team for their leadership

The CGI is an essential source of critical information across a number of fields and provides us with key actions, opportunities for action, and partnership links.

Great organization working to improve public health outcomes, provides expertise, and employs efficient strategies to enhance the ever evolving global health practice!

The amazing work of CGI is reflected in the education and implementation of best practices in health care and disease prevention in far ranging and difficult to reach locations such as Tanzania and Cambodia.
Dr. Stout's guidance and world view are evident in all of the work undertaken by each CGI project.

Great cause with Good people. In appreciation for all the work they do. Integrity, passion and contribution are hallmarks of this initiative.

This organization is phenomenal and I have had multiple contacts with the founding director of the organization Dr. Chris Stout. They have multiple countries and projects they are involved in around the world. Dr. Stout is very generous with his resources on seeding projects and providing tools. He has a newsletter that is packed full of important information and tools that he disseminates on a regular basis. He also has various resources available through his library which he has generously shared. The work he is doing in Tanzania with the orphans and the kindergarten he founded is inspirational.

Dr. Chris Stout's Center for Global Initiatives is the touchstone for so many individuals providing aid to under-served countries worldwide. It has an immense library of resources that answer many of the concerns of the activists in the field. And it is constantly being updated with the latest info.

Dr. Stout, himself, gives generously of his time, his connections, and his resources. He knows many in the global activism community. And he is quick to offer assistance to those he mentors through his organization.

The nonprofit is 100% run by volunteers and all donations go directly to projects and operations.

I appreciate CGI's innovative approach to partnering with local NGO's to bring sustainable programs to countries that need improved access to healthcare in underserved communities.

CGI has had a huge impact on poverty and other global needs. It is a very worthwhile nonprofit to support.

Excellent, timely resources. The features of researchers and practitioner's projects are interesting and inspiring. I lead service groups at my college with the students and always find inspiration to provide information to students from these resources. In addition to the resources being of excellent caliber, the center is unique in focus which to me further serves as inspiration to be authentic to a service lifestyle.

CGI has great free resources available that have been useful over the years. They are great to keep going back to again and again

I have supported CGI for several years and appreciate the great global impact they have had.

Quality not-for-profit organization that "talks the talk" and "walks the walk"!

Dr. Chris Stout is bright, has an enormous amount of positive energy, is a renowned evidence-based teacher and researcher that serves as a values-driven leader and continues to make a difference and positively impacts access to healthcare globally. Thanks for your commitment to being a change-agent and difference-maker!

A great organization that does important work for humanity.

I learned of CGI through friends, and I encourage others to learn more about what this organization has done, and what they are up to...

Really inspired by all that CGI is doing in Africa.

I have no direct relationship with CGI but knowing Dr. Chris E Stout and reading through him the actions of the Non Profit , I can highly evaluate and appreciate the Work that is being done ! Chris is very passionate with CGI and very capable in his work !

CGI does an excellent job of connecting like-minded professionals and similar humanitarian organizations. Instead of working alone, individuals and non-profits can join forces to be even more effective!

Amazing group of people and work done! Proud to be a part of it.

As a non profit working with disenfranchised populations, I have found the support and resources the Center for Global Initiatives has been invaluable. I applaud their work.

This is a true, humanitarian organization that supports efforts world-wide to help people gain access to care.

Like many international psychologists, I admire how Dr. Chris Stout's Center for Global Initiatives provides valuable resources for colleagues to promote well-being across national boundaries.

The Center for Global Initiatives represents all that is great in a non profit. Doing their own good work and projects as well as supporting, empowering, and collaborating with other organizations to do more, and to do what they do better. They inspire me each day to be the best that I can be in the field for volunteer and service work along a sustainable continuum. Thanks Dr. Stout et al.

CGI is run by a dedicated individual who is passionate about his work and his life. CGI is inspirational and provides realistic resources that transcends multiple discipline areas.

Center for Global Initiatives provides a wealth of knowledge on best practices and information on current work being done in the field. The work being discussed is inspiring!

There is a dire need for a non-profit organization such as the Center for Global Initiatives. It puts out top quality information at no cost. It also plays a major humanitarian role because the information can be used by developing countries to get ahead.

I have known the founder for many years. He is a person of integrity and he is a very careful steward of resources.

This charity performs invaluable health services throughout the world. Further, it isinstrumrnt all in helping other charities meet their goals, thus broadening the reach to those most in need. I speak as the director of RXP International, which trains practitioners in an integrated psychopharmacology/psychotherapy perspective. CGI HAD MADE A DIFFERENCE FOR US.

Consistently shares informative and creative solutions that are being put together around the world. Often find what is shared inspiring.

Chris Stout has a broad vision of how to make the world a better place. His efforts have made a huge impact worldwide. I strongly support this charity.

As a for profit organization with a social mission to make healthcare affordable and accessible worldwide, we actively search for "best in class" innovation and service. The Center for Global Initiatives meets or exceeds all criteria for global best in class. I am particularly impressed by the leadership of the Center for Global Initiatives, Dr. Chris Stout. I have been fortunate enough to follow his work over a number of years and have experienced fist hand his thought leadership.

Professional prepared resource materials, easy access information and welcoming collaborative contact to all that enter the web site for the Center for Global Initiatives. I have a few of the publications and have used it with project planning and my writing work. Outstanding organization!

The Center for Global Initiatives takes likeminded individuals from various fields and brings them together for one purpose - improving the healthcare of the world.

True volunteerism is a commitment and passion to the mission of service to others and that is Chris Stout and CGI.

Top integrity, absolute competence and no nonsense! It is one of the most truly altruistic things going today!

Global Initiative is tireless in it's efforts to promote healing services in some of the most needy regions of the world, and is an exemplar of the new model of collaboration and information sharing with other NGOs to promote a more concerted response to humanitarian crises.

great goals and purpose for this organization!!!!!

CGI provides such a great service to the humanitarian aid sector! Way to go!

Great organization! I would recommend CGI as a great source of support for anyone, novice or veteran, with a heart for meaningful non-profit work!

Given the plethora of global humanitarian issues that are perhaps best addressed in a collaborative manner, "Tools for Change" is an excellent resource and platform to help achieve this. I give it, and the Center for Global Initiatives, a five-star rating! - Victor Olusegun Adeniji

Dr. Stout and CGI exemplify the dedication and persistence needed for a humanitarian transformation away from violence, conflict, and the widespread exploitation of our most vulnerable populations and ecosystems.

The Center for Global Initiatives has been very educational and a useful tool as a budding professional. I can only hope that my future contributions can showcase how much I have learned. This non profit is an inspiration that I can do more and a small act can play a role in a great change. Keep up the great work!

Truly a great idea and execution to help make this world a better place. CGI joins people to collaborate and unite in tackling the issues we all face on a world wide basis. I recently joined the CGI after seeing their great initiatives with Mission Works and their work to help spread excellent healthcare. I look forward to working with them in the future.

CGI helps nascent nonprofits like mine take off and Dr Chris Stout is a dear and very special colleague who has unhesitatingly provided counsel and in-depth information about running a good nonprofit. Their work has touched millions!
