Science, and the technological solutions it enables, can save lives, heal the planet, and make the world a better place for all. The Fund for Science and Technology supports the global science community and invests in new ways for scientists and researchers to collaborate and innovate.
The Fund for Science and Technology champions discoveries that will help humanity thrive, and advances the work of creative, cross-sector thinkers dedicated to scientific discovery, tackling the challenges of tomorrow, and leveraging technological impact for the common good.
Long-term focus areas
As the foundation matures, our core focus areas of bioscience, the environment, and AI for good will be guided by the opportunity to take on the world’s biggest and most urgent challenges, drive cutting-edge innovation, and unlock the potential and creativity of bold thinkers around the world. Science isn’t just what happens in a lab – it’s how the world creates lasting change. Together, we strive to advance scientific frontiers and chart a course for a better and brighter future.
Focus Area
Bioscience
Science at its core is elevating curiosity, building evidence and observation into an understanding of humanity and the natural world. Through bioscience, the rigor of scientific discovery is applied to living organisms with transformative outcomes in areas such as health and medicine, food and agriculture, environmental restoration and healthy ecosystems, energy, and urban sustainability. With the Fund for Science and Technology's focus on enabling science that benefits people and the planet, it’s only natural that unlocking the power of bioscience is a key pillar in our movement toward a brighter future for all.
Focus Area
Environment
We are all stewards of our planet and the resources that enable biodiversity and healthy ecosystems. Our responsibility is to use these resources wisely with an eye toward restoration and sustainability. The Fund for Science and Technology’s environmental pillar advances the importance of scientific solutions that promote a better future for Earth and humanity. We seek to make the greatest impact through collaboration and co-creation of holistic, enduring solutions to our planet’s greatest challenges.
Focus Area
AI for good
Artificial intelligence is a tool for accelerating understanding of the planet and the challenges humanity faces together. The Fund for Science and Technology is leveraging AI to enhance and catalyze ideas and scientific solutions to improve the health of our planet and its people. Ethical and responsible use of AI will help us and our grantees learn from and confront problems, embrace complexity, push boundaries, and challenge conventional thinking as we support organizations around the world working to solve the most pressing problems of our time.
