Heising-Simons Foundation

We focus on four areas: resilient local community, organizational effectiveness for Foundation grantees, journalism, and the CEO Fund

We facilitate the creation and strengthening of early childhood systems necessary for children from low-income families and children of color to reach their full potential

We envision a society where people are free to live whole, safe, and dignified lives

We support fundamental research primarily in the physical sciences and strive to support individuals who belong to groups that have been historically underrepresented in these fields
