We make grants to effective organizations to reduce disease, poverty, pain, and violence while expanding freedom, happiness, and empowerment.

Mission

We focus on two populations:

The people of today

We work to alleviate suffering and to provide educational access and support for all, with special emphasis on those who are most disadvantaged.

The people of tomorrow

Wishing to leave the world better than we found it, or at least no worse, we aim to eliminate the unsustainable use of fossil fuels.
