The Great Investors’ Best Ideas Foundation “GIBI,” a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, was started in 2007 with the purpose of creating a premier investment event to benefit two worthy causes, The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research and the Vickery Meadow Youth Development Foundation.
The GIBI Investment Symposium is fully underwritten by its founders, John Neill and Frederick “Shad” Rowe. All proceeds raised through this event are donated to these two deserving organizations. Due to the generosity of many loyal supporters, GIBI has donated over $6 million to its beneficiaries throughout the foundation’s five-year history.
