The John Templeton Foundation aspires to enable people to create lives of purpose and meaning. We do this by funding awe-inspiring research and conversations across disciplines—from astrophysics, evolutionary biology, and genetics, to philosophy, psychology, and economics. Our vision is to become a global catalyst for discoveries that contribute to human flourishing.
