Founded in 1991, the Melton Foundation is a network of partner universities and over 450 competitively selected Fellows from Chile, China, Germany, India, and the USA. Our portfolio of programs and activities is centered on promoting global citizenship as a way for people and institutions to address today's global challenges.

The core activities of the Foundation are made possible through an endowment provided by Bill Melton. A successful entrepreneur and visionary investor for over 30 years, Bill Melton was founder of VeriFone Inc. and an early investor in America Online, PayPal, Coffee Day, OnMobile and other transformational companies in India, China and the US.

Mission Statement:

“The Melton Foundation actively promotes global citizenship as a way for individuals and organizations to work together across boundaries of place and identity to address global challenges.”
