Something About Company
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative was founded in 2015 to help solve some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our local communities. Our mission is to build a more inclusive, just, and healthy future for everyone.
Across our focus areas—Science, Education, Community and alongside our Justice & Opportunity partners, we pair technology, with grantmaking, impact investing, and collaboration to help accelerate the pace of progress towards an equitable future. We support the science and technology that will make it possible to cure, prevent, or manage all diseases by the end of the 21st century. We foster collaboration between scientists and engineers, develop new technologies, and build support for basic scientific research.
We want to ensure that every student —not just a lucky few—can get an education that’s tailored to their individual needs and supports every aspect of their development. And we want every teacher to be equipped with the tools and research they need to help get them there.
We support work to create greater opportunity for communities in the Bay Area and across California, which includes flexible, responsive grantmaking; capacity building for local organizations; and partnerships around key issues, like housing affordability and homelessness.
