Mission and programs · 2022

Mission

Founded in 1978, the Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange (Franklin Center) is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to enhancing global understanding of important international issues. The Franklin Center brings together members of the U.S. Congress and their international parliamentary counterparts as well as experts from the diplomatic corps, foreign officials, senior private sector representatives, scholars, and other public policy experts. Through conferences and events where leading international opinion leaders share ideas, the Franklin Center promotes enlightened, balanced, and unbiased international policy discussion on major international issues.

Activities or mission (Part I)

The Franklin Center for Global Policy Exchange is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization committed to enhancing global understanding of important international issues through discussion among public and private leaders in the international community.

  • Public Policy and Dialogue: Providing educational events which further awareness of public policy issues. The Center holds forums to present timely discussions on national and international issues of concern to policy makers and members, or to build upon policy discussions from the most recent Capital to Capital exchange, in Madrid, Spain. Discussions are held in Washington, DC and bring together experts to address the group and include an exchange of ideas. In 2022, we held 35 in person events and 5 zoom webinars with vigorous discussion and participation by the attendees. We organized policy tours in Austin, Texas, and Los Angeles, California.The Center also hosts the Capital to Capital Exchange which brings together US Congressional leaders, member of the diplomatic community, corporate policy experts, scholars, parliamentarians, government leaders, and business leaders from a host country where the conference is held to discuss pressing international issues. By discussing issues such as international trade, energy, transportation, health, security, etc., policy makers gain a greater understanding of the global challenges facing the US and other countries. The August 2021 Capital to Capital Exchange was postponed to November 10-14, 2022, due to COVID restrictions in the European Union.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.

Schedule J
