Governance & Accountability

The Bosnia & Herzegovina Futures Foundation is governed by its Board of Directors, which is responsible for the management and strategic direction of the Foundation. Our work is guided by the Foundation's certificate of registration, bylaws, policy and procedures manual, operations manual, and all applicable laws governing non-profit organisations in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The Board is responsible for policy formulation, fundraising and administrative oversight, advocating the Foundation's goals and objectives, and ensuring the prudent and proper use of its financial assets.

Our Staff & Lead Volunteers

Our staff and lead volunteers make sure that our community has the support, resources, and opportunities it needs to grow. They create a safe environment for communication, collaboration, and learning; connect scholars with educational resources and exceptional individuals; manage partnerships, finances, technology, and other vital resources; and support volunteer teams in delivering meaningful activities. Together, they help strengthen our community locally and globally while preparing the Foundation for future growth.

Foundation Strategic Advisors

Our strategic advisors bring valuable professional experience, knowledge, and guidance to the Foundation. They support our long-term direction, strengthen our partnerships, and help us expand our impact through strategic insight and expertise.
