Initiatives

We strongly believe in the lasting positive impact of empowering women and children through education, job opportunities, and social, political & psychological support. Our grantees operate locally, nationally, and internationally.

We aim to reduce incarceration rates by supporting alternatives to incarceration and addressing systemic inequities. Additionally, we champion second chances by removing barriers to employment and helping individuals reintegrate into society.

The impacts of climate change demand bold action and innovative solutions. We support interventions that leverage science, policy, and market-driven innovation to create a more sustainable and resilient planet.

We address the growing mental health crisis by supporting early-stage interventions that equip young people with tools to navigate challenges like anxiety and depression. By focusing on prevention and breaking down barriers to care, we aim to build a healthier, more resilient generation.

We believe in the unparalleled power of education and want to help increase the educational and career opportunities available to young people throughout the Bay Area and across the United States. We prioritize opportunities to support minority youth and first-generation college students.

We work to strengthen American democracy by promoting equitable civic engagement and trust in democratic systems. Our efforts focus on breaking down barriers to participation and ensuring elections are transparent, inclusive, and trusted.

We accelerate inclusivity in entrepreneurship by backing and mentoring diverse emerging investors. By supporting these leaders, we help foster a more equitable entrepreneurial ecosystem and expand opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs.

While our granting primarily focuses on our key portfolios, throughout the year we discover compelling organizations working to create important change in areas like senior dog rescue, Effective Altruism, and supporting the broader philanthropic community. We believe these amazing organizations also deserve to be celebrated.
