Priorities

We seek to empower people so they may realize their full potential, individually and collectively. To accomplish this goal, we focus our funding in the areas of education, medical research, scientific advancement and health and human services.

Some of the initiatives the Foundation has supported include:

  • Advancing Alzheimer’s Disease and brain health research
  • Strengthening mentorship in higher education
  • Improving diversity, equity and inclusion in STEM
  • Facilitating research and experiential learning
  • Supporting college readiness and other positive youth development
  • Enabling access to high quality healthcare
  • Expanding support services for vulnerable children and families


We believe in the value and importance of learning from, and collaborating with, similarly aligned funders and are proud to be members of Science Philanthropy Alliance.
