The Future Generation Foundation (FGF) is a nonprofit, non governmental organization formed in 1998 by key leading members of the private sector with a clear objective of developing our country's business sector thus enabling it to compete in the global arena. FGF aims to transform the culture of the private sector and reorient it to international levels of excellence and achievement through the development of its human resource sector.

A regional federation consists of NGOs and foundations existing within a government irrespective of their activity.
Membership of a regional federation may be accessed against an application by the NGO or foundation, subject to be approved by the general assembly or the board of trustees as the case may be. The federation may not reject the application whenever membership conditions are notified.

The Sawiris Foundation for Social Development was founded in April 2001, with an endowment from the Sawiris family. It constitutes the first family foundation dedicated to social development in Egypt. The Foundation provides grants to fund projects implemented by partners.

The Foundation focuses its action on projects geared towards job creation. It first identifies job opportunities with no qualified individuals available to fill them. It then proceeds to train unemployed to take up these jobs. Prior commitment from employers is obtained to hire successful trainees.

The Foundation also strives to foster the spirit of entrepreneurship and to support the creation of self-employment opportunities. It funds training for potential entrepreneurs, and provides seed money for the start up of micro and small enterprises.

FGF is helping in upgrading local corporate culture. With a private sector driven economy, this will translate into greater fiscal well-being for the nation at large, a leading role in the regional economy, and a strong position on the global market.
