United Nations

The UN Foundation, through our sister organization, the Better World Campaign, advocates in support of a strong, effective and fully funded United Nations. A strong UN is the world’s most effective voice for international cooperation on behalf of peace, development, human rights and the environment.   

Our priorities include:

Advocating U.S. Funding for the UN

Through the Better World Campaign, we advocate for a strong, fully-funded UN system. We encourage the United States and other governments to pay their dues on time, in full, and without conditions. We also work with senior international policy leaders to encourage collaborative solutions working through the UN to address “problems without passports” like climate change, terrorism, and nuclear proliferation.

Building Public Support for the UN

The UN Foundation and the Better World Campaign build public and political support for a constructive U.S.-UN relationship. Our campaigns, including “Don’t Shut Down the UN,” “Price of Peace,” “Don’t Go It Alone,” and “On Day One,” mobilize a community of people who believe that the UN is vital to solving global challenges.

We work closely with the United Nations to communicate effectively with governments about the UN’s role, accomplishments and value in the world. Our work supports UN crisis communications and adoption of new information strategies that help to better tell the UN story.
