Uniting leaders and communities
in eradicating
the disease of poverty
Together we will create a world where poverty no longer defines possibility.
The International Poverty Forum (IPF) is a year-round community action network that exists to turn compassion into measurable progress. We believe poverty is not an identity — it is a disease that can be eradicated, an enemy that can be defeated when the world works together.
IPF unites global leaders, communities, and changemakers to replace awareness with action and words with outcomes.
Born from the vision and leadership of Caring For Others, our work connects conversation to impact, tackling poverty through the foundational pillars of food security, clothing access, and housing, and the transformative pillars of health, education, and economic empowerment.
