Our key initiatives seek to advance our mission by making metabolic health mainstream, transforming farming and food systems, and supporting non-partisan voting reforms that make government leaders accountable to a majority of constituents.
We are guided by three principles for driving social movements that are interdependent and synergistic:
- Identify elegant solutions hiding in plain sight
- Build domain expertise to make calculated bets
- Engage a philanthropic flywheel integrating research, advocacy, & capacity building
These actionable principles guide our work and our strategic focus across our primary impact areas.
Metabolic & Mental Health
Our initiatives in mental health are driven by the hypothesis that much mental illness is related to brain energy metabolism and may be largely reversible. We aim to move neurometabolic research to the forefront of brain science in order to transform clinical psychiatric care.
Regenerative Agriculture
Our investments in regenerative farming and ranching are fueled by a belief that aligning our food systems with the cycles of nature can protect our soil, health, farms and planet. We fund storytellers and advocates who are amplifying the power and possibility of regenerative agriculture.
Electoral Innovation
Our non-partisan electoral reform work contends that partisan politics can no longer be allowed to dominate our democracy. We support efforts to reform voting in ways that shift incentives for elected officials toward representing a majority of constituents.
