Pledged in

2012

In 2001 we devoted half of our wealth to create a foundation that would take risks in order to innovate and achieve meaningful results. Nearly 12 years later we remain committed to creating positive outcomes for future generations, and we're focused on areas where we believe that we can make a difference: environmental conservation, patient care and science."
