Scientific research
Long-duration support for laboratories and individual investigators in the basic sciences. Work unlikely to be funded by anyone whose horizon is shorter than ours.
We support institutions whose work, like our own, is best measured in decades. The endowment operates without a public profile and does not solicit applications.
Recipients are chosen privately. The relationships are long.

Endowed positions, fellowships, and capital projects at universities and schools, including in regions where institutions are still being built.
Conservation, performance, and museum acquisitions. We back the institutions, not the events. We attend privately, if at all.
Initiatives at the intersection of clinical research and access. The parts of the system where private patience can make a measurable difference.
