Philanthropists Eli and Edythe Broad started The Eli and Edythe Broad Foundation to advance entrepreneurship for the public good in education, science and the arts. The Broad Foundation invests in the people, programs and institutions that are improving the human mind, body and spirit. In addition to supporting the important work of scores of non-profit organizations around the country, the foundation has created groundbreaking independent institutions in each of its three investment areas, including The Broad Center, which develops leaders to help transform America’s urban public schools, The Broad Institute, a global leader in genomics, and The Broad, a museum in downtown Los Angeles devoted to showcasing great contemporary art.
