Chairman, Global Goodwill Ambassadors

Richard DiPilla is chairman and co-founder of the Global Goodwill Ambassadors Foundation, a nonprofit organization with over 19,000 members in 215 nations and territories that spreads goodwill around the world. Richard retired in 2018 after four decades in media marketing and management to focus on his oversight of GGAF, which he founded in 2011. Since 2013, GGAF has recognized ordinary people throughout the world who live their lives with an eye on a higher humanitarian purpose. A global board and individual country chapters share information and ideas and create local initiatives to spread goodwill. The foundation adheres to three basic tenets: No bias, no hate speech, and no solicitation. It focuses on the value of the human spirit and goodwill. Richard’s vision is to build the world’s largest collective of individuals who make their communities, countries, and the world a better place.
