CHARLOTTE GABRIS
GOODWILL AMBASSADORS
Since its creation, many personalities have lent their names, talents and time to support the M Foundation’s mission.
The M Foundation has therefore decided to designate such individuals as GOODWILL AMBASSADORS, working on behalf of the M Foundation to highlight key issues and to draw attention to its activities.
The M Foundation is proud to nominate as its first goodwill ambassador the Swiss actress and humorist Charlotte GABRIS. Charlotte has been supporting the foundation since its creation, playing an important role in its fundraising efforts and contributing to its visibility in the artistic world.
The M Foundation’s goodwill ambassadors are promoters of the foundation’s basic values, ensuring they are respected and well communicated at all times.
With the support of its goodwill ambassadors, the M Foundation commits to a grant making activity that is 1. accountable; 2. collaborative; 3. non-discriminatory; 4. inclusive and 5. sustainable.
