Support GCIV

Strengthening Citizen Diplomacy in Georgia

The Georgia Council for International Visitors relies on the support of individuals, organizations and partners to sustain and expand professional international exchange programs across Georgia.

Your support enables GCIV to connect more Georgia citizens with international leaders and to advance mutual understanding through people-to-people citizen diplomacy.

International exchange depends on local engagement. Tax-deductible contributions to GCIV help ensure that exchange programs remain accessible, well-coordinated and impactful across Georgia. Your support directly strengthens GCIV’s ability to host international visitors and to provide meaningful opportunities for dialogue, learning, and collaboration.

Why Your Support Matters
