Mission --- We exist to breed future leaders endowed with passion, compassion, integrity and creativity — across science, technology, the arts and culture. We believe that progress in any of these fields is a public good worth investing in for the long term. Origins --- The Foundation was constituted in 2015 with an endowment from the Primasia Group. The conviction behind the gift was that long-horizon, institution-scale support for education, scientific research and the arts produces more durable outcomes than year-on-year giving. We operate on that thesis — committing to a small number of partners for the long term, and doing so quietly.
