The Roddenberry Foundation is about ideas. It’s about big, bold ideas that can change the world. It’s about catalytic investments in these ideas and the people behind them. The foundation was created in a response to the urgency and complexity of the issues we now face and the growing and exponential impact our actions have on each other and our planet. Our approach reflects the enormity of these challenges and a recognition that that no one institution has all or even a few of the answers. To address these issues we cast a wide net to uncover and support great, untested ideas and make calculated risks on individuals whose vision and leadership have the potential to “move the needle” in addressing our thorniest, most entrenched global challenges.
