FOUNDATION SUCCESS STORIES
Our accomplishments reflect our commitment to bridging gaps – between lobbying and grantmaking, among individual researchers, and among funders, government entities and nonprofit organizations.
Building on the philosophy of our co-founder, Steve Kirsch, who sees linkages where others may see barriers, we are synergistic in our grantmaking, lobbying and educational activities. Our successes underscore how we leverage our resources, show the breadth of our areas of interest, and demonstrate the extent to which we have established the Foundation as a force in philanthropy and public policy in three short years.
As evidence of our collaborative style, commitment to public policy, and success in lobbying activities, the Foundation received the California Association of Nonprofits (CAN) 2002 Public Policy Excellence Award for Partnership. It was the first time that a foundation received CAN's recognition for public policy work.
