ABOUT THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION
Since 1991, The Summit Foundation has supported organizations working
to improve our world and the quality of life for its inhabitants.
Underlying this commitment to global sustainability are three core
values that reflect our founders’ philosophy:
- Shifting the Context. Achieving a
sustainable and healthy future for the generations to come will
entail profound changes in our perspective and thinking. We believe
that shifting the context in which problems are viewed can reveal
innovative solutions.
- Achieving Results. We are committed
to having an impact that is significant and enduring. We seek
results that go beyond stopgap measures and that delve into the
systemic sources of problems and achieve deeply rooted change.
- Investing in People. We invest in
the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of people, and we count
on their goodness and wisdom to triumph. We believe that people
are capable of extraordinary accomplishments when they have the
right tools to achieve their goals and are fully empowered to
give their best to the world.
We currently invest our resources in three program areas:
In the areas we fund, we look for projects that rely on constructive
engagement and inclusion. Summit encourages collaboration among
grantees and partnerships among the various sectors of society—governments,
the private sector, non-profit organizations and community-based
organizations.
