ABOUT US: What We Do

Sustainable Path Foundation funds projects and supports dialogues that focus on finding solutions for a sustainable society.

Sustainable Path Foundation is a group philanthropic effort that believes the challenges of creating a sustainable society will be best met by solutions that are grounded in scientific understanding and whole systems thinking. Through our grants program, we support and fund a variety of projects that are based in science and incorporate a whole systems perspective.  Each Group Philanthropy Partner has the opportunity to review potential projects.   We aim to leverage resources by funding projects that draw in intersecting issues as a means of creating solutions that will have broad impact and connect systems.

We also promote collaboration and creative solutions by bringing together individuals and organizations that have intersecting interests. Through our idea club and seminar series we create a space for sharing ideas and resources which helps to develop and strengthen initiatives that bring us closer to a more sustainable way of living.

Sustainable Path Foundation continues the work that was started by Seattle Biotech Legacy Foundation, which was formed in 2002 and has its roots in the Seattle bioscience community. We pride ourselves on an open-minded approach that embraces a diverse range of scientifically-based, cross-disciplinary and innovative solutions to the challenges that confront our society. Although our activities are largely focused in the Puget Sound region, we anticipate that our approach and work will have a broader impact.
