The Environmental and Social Innovation portfolio works with philanthropists, companies, and impact investors to uncover and support promising solutions, apply new tools, and mobilize entrepreneurial talent to advance progress in entrenched environmental and social challenges.

Workstreams

Sustainable Planet

We work with partners to landscape issues and recommend the strategies and tools that will spur progress and build toward a resilient and sustainable future.

Thriving Communities

We create programming to address entrenched social issues so that communities have the necessary resources to access and participate in a thriving and just society.

Individual Opportunity

We conduct rigorous research to identify opportunities for innovation across education, workforce development, and tech for good. We find and illuminate pathways for individuals to reach their full potential.

Veterans Community Initiative

Veterans face challenges during the transition to civilian life—from economic hardship to health and social barriers. Our initiative explores how strategic philanthropy can fund integrated solutions and expand long-term support for veterans and their families.
