INTERNATIONAL SECURITY FOUNDATION

WASHINGTON, District of Columbia, 20005-3314 United States

Mission Statement

The International Security Foundation supports the Overseas Security Advisory Council and related organizations by funding educational programs and security information exchange initiatives that keep American citizens and organizations safe while overseas.

About This Cause

Founded in 2011 as a nonprofit, a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt educational organization, the ISF has a simple, far-reaching mission: to fund programs and logistical support for the Overseas Security Advisory Council (OSAC) of the United States Department of State, Bureau of Diplomatic Security. ISF support dramatically expands OSAC’s ability to create a safer, more secure environment for the U.S. companies, organizations and citizens operating abroad. From its modest beginning -- the first-ever ISF-funded OSAC event was a security forum following the 2013 deadly terrorist attack on Nairobi's Westgate shopping mall -- the ISF has helped to transform OSAC by enhancing OSAC security information exchange programs, symposia and other educational initiatives. In accordance with the Federal Advisory Committee Act, OSAC’s Country and Regional Councils and Sector-specific Working Groups cannot receive any federal funding. The ISF is the sole supporter for these vital groups and underwrites OSAC's International Travel Safety & Security Forum and the Crisis Management Forum.
