Stewardship

An endowed share,
on the same horizon.

Position

Stewardship sits alongside our investment pillars, not after them.

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.

Areas of support
01

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.

Endowed chairs · Multi-year fellowships
02

Education

Endowed positions, fellowships, and capital projects at universities and schools, including in regions where institutions are still being built.

University partnerships · Scholarship endowments
03

Cultural patronage

Conservation, performance, and museum acquisitions. We back the institutions, not the events. We attend privately, if at all.

Conservation · Acquisition · Performance
04

Public health

Initiatives at the intersection of clinical research and access. The parts of the system where private patience can make a measurable difference.
