We congratulate our major donor The FIA Foundation<\/a> on its 20 Year Anniversary and inspiring global impact, including safer roads through its creation and ongoing support of iRAP.<\/p>\n The FIA Foundation was created in 2001 as an act of great foresight and generosity. \u00a0It was decided that proceeds from the lease sale of Federation Internationale de l\u2019Automobile (FIA)\u2019s commercial rights to Formula One should be used to permanently endow a new charity dedicated to road safety, sustainable transport and motor sport safety.<\/p>\n The FIA Foundation was born, and among many ground-breaking initiatives was the establishment of iRAP and the Global New Car Assessment Programme to transform the safety of roads and vehicles.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/irap.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/FIAF-impact-1024.jpg” title_text=”FIAF impact 1024″ align=”center” _builder_version=”4.12.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text admin_label=”Text” _builder_version=”4.12.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n FIA Foundation’s impact since 2001 (as at December 2021)<\/em><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.12.1″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The evolution of the European and then International Road Assessment Programme from an initial club-led cluster of research projects into a global organisation working with major development bank partners was enabled by core Foundation funding.<\/p>\n iRAP CEO Rob McInerney said, \u201cThanks to the FIA Foundation and their great work over 20 years, \u00a0iRAP has been able to help partners in more than 100 countries save lives with safer roads.\u00a0 FIAF\u2019s donor support has allowed iRAP to create catalytic change with more than $80bn of road investment leveraged and made safer.\u201d<\/p>\n Read more on the philanthropy\u2019s two decades of success, including iRAP, shared in its report \u201cFIA Foundation 20 Years: 2001-2021<\/a>\u201d and video here<\/a>.<\/p>\n See iRAP\u2019s 20 year impact in the First Decade of Action in our digital feature here<\/a>.<\/p>\n The FIA Foundation\u2019s anniversary was celebrated in London with a forum on Safe and Healthy Mobility entitled \u2018Design for Life.
