Granting & Programs
We empower passionate leaders to build thriving communities and regenerate ecosystems
Granting Interests
The Foundation’s granting interests are guided by the vision and ambition of its founders. The Foundation supports a range of charitable work: the environment, neurodegenerative diseases of aging research and care, youth opportunity, and humanitarian response.
Granting Process
The Foundation’s application process is by invitation only. The Foundation proactively reaches out to organizations to submit proposals based on current funding interests. Unfortunately, we are not able to respond to unsolicited proposals.
