Capital, conviction, and the long view.
We are a private foundation working at the intersection of health, the environment, and technology — committing patient capital to the institutions and ideas shaping the next century.
Four convictions guide every commitment.
We fund where evidence, urgency, and opportunity converge — backing exceptional people for the duration it takes to do enduring work.

Read morePatient capital, measured against outcomes.
We operate with the discipline of an investor and the time horizon of an institution. Commitments are made deliberately, structured for the long term, and held to clear standards of evidence and impact.
Most of our work is by invitation and direct partnership. We seek collaborators who share our preference for substance over spectacle.
How we operate
“The work that matters most rarely fits a single grant cycle. We invest as though the result is owed to a generation we will never meet.”— Philip Odegard, Founder
