APPROACH

Our tool for driving change

Dr. Toby Malichi, Hon.D.Bus., DHL, LHD, The Global Godfather, a prominent figure in the Midwest business community, found himself in the spotlight Friday at the White House during a Business Leader Summit.

Dr. Toby Malichi Institute for Global Impact recognizes the critical importance of trade education in developing economies. We are committed to addressing the gap in public spending and private philanthropy in this area. As highlighted by Oxford Economics and the Hinrich Foundation, just 3% of philanthropic spending annually goes toward post-secondary education, with trade policies and regulations receiving a mere 0.03% of private philanthropic spending. Our institute aims to change this paradigm by emphasizing the importance of trade education and trade policy understanding in fostering global economic growth.

Our Approach

At the Dr. Toby Malichi Institute for Global Impact, we believe that trade education, global leadership and global business diplomacy are essential for unlocking the economic potential of developing economies and building sustainable global prosperity.
 
Our mission is to bridge the gaps in public and private investment, bringing much-needed attention to trade policies and post-secondary education. With only 3% of global philanthropic funding directed toward higher education—and a mere 0.03% focused on trade policy—our institute is committed to shifting this paradigm. We invite you to join us in this mission by fostering knowledge, advocating for impactful trade policies, and empowering young future leaders and social enterprises to shape the world economy.

Bridging the Trade Education Gap

The Dr. Toby Malichi Institute for Global Impact addresses the critical gaps in trade education and policy understanding by focusing on underrepresented public and private investment areas.

We believe that economic development begins with informed leaders and social entrepreneurs who understand the nuances of trade.
