VISIONWelcome to the BNI Foundation

Who is the BNI Foundation?
When corporations have a vision bigger than their profit and loss statement, amazing things can happen. BNI, the world’s leading referral organization, is one such corporation.

The focus of the BNI Foundation is to change the trajectory of the youth of our community and help them find the path to productive and successful lives. For us, the mechanism to help with this shift is by investing our time, treasure, and talent to assist in education where we can.
The BNI Foundation is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization registered with the IRS as a public foundation.

The three major programs of the BNI Foundation include the Business Voices Initiative, our Givers Gain Grant Program, and the Misner Endowment Fund. Since its inception in 1998, the BNI Foundation has raised over $3.5 million for charities globally.
