ABOUT THE ROBERTSON FOUNDATION

The Robertson Foundation is a private family foundation, established in 1996 by Tiger Management founder Julian H. Robertson, Jr., his wife, Josie, and their family.  
 
At the Foundation, we believe human capital is our greatest lever for change. To support individuals and teams transforming how we power our economies, educate our children, feed our families, and advance life-saving discoveries, we aim to combine deep inquiry and intentional action. We seek to identify tipping points and focus on understanding the complexities, contexts, and root causes of the challenges. We learn from and support the intelligence and expertise of those most proximate to the issues. And we commit to backing our partners with ample support for the long term as they seek breakthroughs.  

The Foundation grants approximately $100 million annually and does not accept unsolicited proposals. 

PORTFOLIOS

The Foundation empowers extraordinary organizations and individuals to seek transformational breakthroughs across three principal areas.  
• Education: We support transformational change in reading and writing in pre-K through grade 8 and the future of the teaching profession.  
• Environment: We support visionary leaders and organizations that drive transformational change in global energy and food systems.  
• Medical Research: We support the investigation of the causes of health and disease, research to develop diagnostics and treatments, and innovation in care delivery to bring better care to more people in the US.
