The Robertson Foundation currently targets high impact grants in four principal areas within the United States: 1) education 2) environment 3) medical research and 4) religion & spirituality. As opportunities emerge, the foundation has provided grants in other areas of interest.
The search for solutions to important public policy problems promises to take the Robertson Foundation in directions not yet identified. Regardless of these new paths, the foundation's bias - to respond quickly to society's most urgent concerns with solutions that yield meaningful results - will remain a priority.
The Robertson Foundation is a private foundation established in 1996 by Tiger Management founder Julian H. Robertson, Jr., his wife Josie, and their family. With assets in excess of $1 billion and designated future gifts considerably higher, the foundation takes a targeted, businesslike, results-oriented approach to philanthropy.
The foundation makes large, transformative grants. Its objective is to leverage these grants by partnering with proven grantees and aligned funders. It seeks measurable outcomes in either the intermediate or longer term.
