WHAT WE DO

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

Many people would like to contribute to the cause of sustainability, but they find it difficult to know who to give to or have insufficient time to research which of the many health and sustainability related issues they should support. 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 systems thinking. Through our grants program, our donors are able to support a variety of projects that have been critically reviewed, are based in science and incorporate a systems perspective. We often aim to leverage resources by funding projects that draw in intersecting issues as a means of creating solutions that will have broader impact.

We also promote collaboration and creative solutions by bringing together individuals and organizations that have intersecting interests. Sharing ideas and resources helps develop and strengthen initiatives to 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.
