What FXB Consulting does

FXB (Association François-Xavier Bagnoud), operating commercially as FXB Consulting and FXB Global, is a privately held Swiss-rooted non-governmental organization founded in 1989 by Albina du Boisrouvray after the death of her son, helicopter rescue pilot François-Xavier Bagnoud. The organization's defining product is the VillageFXB model, launched in 1991 in Africa and replicated across 211 projects in 22+ countries: a holistic three-year community-development program that simultaneously addresses extreme poverty through housing and sanitation, food security, education, healthcare, and economic empowerment via interest-free income-generating activities. Reported outcomes include a 90% economic and social autonomy rate among beneficiaries within three years and an aggregate 20 million people impacted since 1989. Beyond VillageFXB, FXB operates the FXB Climate Advocates program (launched 2022), a youth climate education initiative delivered in partnership with Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, NYU, the Drawdown Project, and Citizens' Climate Lobby.

FXB is structurally a federated nonprofit with three principal legal entities: Association François-Xavier Bagnoud – FXB Suisse (primary, headquartered in Geneva), AFXB France (Paris, registered under French law of 1901), and FXB USA, Inc. (a Delaware 501(c)(3), US Tax ID 13-3772789). It holds Zewo certification in Switzerland and uses the Transnational Giving Europe network to enable tax-deductible donations across Europe. The business model is 100% donation- and grant-funded: the organization publicly states that 85 cents of every franc, euro, or dollar donated goes directly to programs, with 15 cents covering operational costs. There is no commercial revenue model; the technology footprint is limited to Donorbox for online donations, Shopify for the FXB Shop merchandise channel, and Google Analytics for anonymized usage analysis.

Governance is anchored by founder and Honorary President Albina du Boisrouvray, with historic co-development relationships with Harvard University (François-Xavier Bagnoud Center for Health and Human Rights, founded 1993) and Rutgers University (FXB Center for pediatric HIV, with Dr. James Oleske). Multilateral endorsements include recognition in UNICEF annual reports, citation as a UNAIDS case study (2002), PEPFAR funding (2008), and membership of founder du Boisrouvray in the Schwab Foundation Social Entrepreneurs network. The original FXB Foundation was dissolved in 2019 after 30 years, having deployed an initial 1989 endowment of approximately CHF 75 million; current operations rest on the surviving FXB Suisse, AFXB France, and FXB USA entities, a 251–500-employee workforce, and continued programmatic expansion including the 2022 Climate Advocates product line.
