Letter from the President

For more than 20 years we've seen that philanthropy is key to advancing positive change in society.

Our goal at the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation has always been to help build vital communities—places which foster creativity, innovation and work with a spirit of cooperation. Those are the qualities we look for, whether in the sciences, arts, or education; or in helping people get out, and stay out, of poverty.

We employ a variety of strategies to have the greatest impact. Through direct grants, technical assistance and information sharing, the Foundation works to extend the reach of our non-profit partners. We help strengthen the organizations and test new approaches to problem-solving—often fostering systemic change through public-private partnerships.

To commemorate the Foundation's two decades, we've produced Northwest Journal: Celebrating 20 Years of Giving. This on-line report tells the story of the Foundation through the voices and images of those who we're proud to have as partners. You can view the report by following this link.

Our philanthropy will continue for many years to come. In July 2010, my brother, Paul, made public his intention to leave a majority of his estate to philanthropic efforts, including the Foundation and the Allen Institute for Brain Science.

Much of our work is regionally focused. But we have a broad vision, with recent support for international education and conservation projects. Our commitment is to remain creative in our giving, support our non-profit partners so they can help others, and continue to define how philanthropy can respond to our times.

On the pages of this Web site, you'll find a description of the Foundation's goals, programs, historical giving, and current partners. We recognize that our ability to catalyze positive change is only as great as the capacity of non profit organizations to respond to evolving community needs. We have gifted partners, and are proud to play a part in the important work they do.
