Overview

The JPB Foundation is a philanthropic organization that funds U.S.-based non-profits and research institutions in three main areas: alleviating poverty, sustaining and enriching the environment, and advancing medical research. It operates through selective, invitation-only grants and works in partnerships with chosen organizations to fund projects that can create long-term, meaningful change. Grants are used to support preventative and forward-looking initiatives, especially in chronic diseases and neurological conditions, by funding world-class scientists and researchers. The foundation does not lobby or influence legislation; instead, it focuses on financial support and collaborative partnerships to scale impact, promote health equity, and advance economic justice. Its goal is to empower people living in poverty, protect the environment, and drive measurable improvements in medical knowledge and outcomes across the United States.
