Providing local solutions
to global issues in a changing world

2021 was another record year for CRDF Global. We came out of the worst of the pandemic with better remote engagement skills and a renewed appreciation for the value of community and collaboration. We grew from 189 employees at the end of 2020 to 264 – a 40 percent growth in one year.   

 

As with any organization experiencing rapid growth, we have had to refine our processes and tools to help us deliver our customers’ missions smoothly and efficiently. This is an ongoing process with dedication from all parts of the organization. 

 

Rapid growth across our global hubs – Arlington, Amman, and Kyiv – also demands that we continue to dedicate time and resources to maintain the extraordinary culture that exists at our core. In a short video clip below, you will see a number of our employees talking about that culture in 15 different languages.  Diversity of language, background, experience, and perspective is a singular strength of this organization and one that we continue to build and foster. 

 

Our fundamental “why” – Strengthen Individuals, Build Relationships, Improve Our World – undergirds everything that we do. Whether we are hosting a group of international leaders, building capacity to detect and deter the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, or strengthening the public health emergency management systems in a partner country, we do it with the core belief that individuals working together across geographic and political boundaries is essential to tackling the tough challenges of the modern world. 

 

I remain immensely proud of this team, from our 20-year veterans to the newest project associate. The passion and dedication they display every day have fueled our growth and the positive impact we are having in the world today.

Sincerely,
