Philanthropy

Creating a more just, responsible and sustainable world.

From 2007-2010 Gregor and his family dedicated significant time to visiting philanthropic and environmental projects around the world.  From China to Guatemala, from bio-fuels to HIV clinics, from the US Institute for Peace to the Clinton Global Initiative, they sought out the most pressing issues facing our planet, spoke to experts and NGOs and spent weeks working in villages and meeting with people “on the ground”.

Throughout the process, they encountered many compelling causes and effective support organizations with whom they are still working.  But in the end, they chose the education of girls as the primary focus of their philanthropic activities.  Human rights, environmental responsibility, over-population, sustainable living are all important, but the education of girls gets to the root cause of all of these and creates long-lasting generational change unlike any other solution.
