The Bretton Woods Committee is a membership-based nonprofit organization focused on promoting effective global economic and financial cooperation. Based in Washington, DC, it brings together leaders from business, finance, academia, and the nonprofit sector—along with former officials and lawmakers—to advocate for strong international financial institutions and multilateral engagement. The group organizes conferences, seminars, and educational activities that inform broad audiences and offer members a channel to provide input to management of international financial institutions, while working with U.S. administrations to highlight how global economic progress relates to national security and prosperity. Founded in 1983 at the initiative of former Treasury officials, the committee operates with funding exclusively from its members and does not accept government or multilateral institution support. A recent development includes the launch of BWC Backgrounders, reflecting ongoing efforts to provide public-facing materials on global financial issues.
