Foundation president, Harvey Fineberg, and chairman emeritus and co-founder, Gordon Moore, discuss the Statement of Founders’ Intent with staff.
We aim to tackle large, important issues at a scale where we can achieve significant and measurable impacts.
We focus our investments in areas that we believe we can make a difference. There are significant problems facing the world today and more will arise in the future. Many problems are of a scope and complexity too large for our foundation to take head on. Our program strategies are guided by a rigorous assessment which evaluates whether our capacity and resources can be a significant factor in bringing about measurable, durable solutions.
We seek to advance basic science through developing new technologies, supporting imaginative research scientists and creating new collaborations at the frontiers of traditional scientific disciplines.
We balance long-term conservation with sustainable use to protect critical ecosystems.
We improve the experience and outcomes of patient care.
We foster, preserve, and enhance the special character of the Bay Area, where the foundation can make a difference consistent with the founders' values.
Let’s stay in touch. Sign up to keep informed of what is happening in our program areas and around the foundation.
Stay tuned. We look forward to sharing more.
