About Our Work

The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation (RFBF), founded in 2014 by Dr. Brian Grim, is the preeminent organization dedicated to educating the global business community, policymakers, non-government organizations and consumers about the positive power that faith and religious freedom for all (including those with no religious faith) have on workplaces and the economy. Our initiatives are underpinned by our extensive research.

We help organizations benchmark progress in workplace religious inclusion through our annual Faith-Friendly Workplace Benchmarking (REDI) Index, now entering its 7th year. RFBF also convenes national and global Dare to Overcome (DTO) conferences. DTO is an initiative that fosters mutual respect and engagement among diverse faith-and-belief groups in workplaces worldwide.

Dare to Overcome (DTO) is the premier global event demonstrating and celebrating how business is a powerful force for interfaith understanding, FoRB and peace. DTO has several key components that also work in support of Sustainable Development Goal 16 – Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. These include: Global Symposia, Leader Awards, Workplace Awards, and our Business Skills & Human Rights Curriculum, an initiative we invite corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives to support.

The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation is a non-partisan, nonpolitical registered 501(c)3 non-profit organization in the United States with partners and work worldwide. It is not a faith-based organization and works with multiple faiths. It does not take a position on current political debates.

Our Mission

The Religious Freedom & Business Foundation (RFBF) works globally with the mission of demonstrating that the economic value and social benefits of robust religious pluralism and liberty for all are tremendous. RFBF believes that business and religious freedom for all combine to form a powerful force for a better world.

Through groundbreaking expert research, training programs, practical business tools and convening multi-faith business forums, RFBF helps demonstrate the critical link between respect for faith, successful enterprise and dynamic national economies. RFBF’s pioneering work serves as a catalyst for executives to promote Freedom of Religion or Belief for all people through customer-facing policies and employee programing — such as employee resource groups (ERGs) fostering workplace religious inclusion — and leveraging their broader societal influence.
