Education is a cornerstone of success.  Higher levels of education are correlated with increased productivity, increased standard of living, less violence, and better health.  We are working in Bhutan with project RENEW to further these goals.  In the USA, the Foundation has established a Fellowship Program at the UC San Diego School of Management, a scholarship program at the San Diego Jewish Academy, and underwrites summer internship programs for high school students.  Educational grants are available to deserving candidates world-wide.

Through grants to organizations, individuals, and specific projects, the Foundation supports the visual and performing arts.  A few organizations with whom we work include: Musee de Louvre, the Museum of Modern Art, MCASD, and the San Diego Opera.

The Foundation values the principles of individual and economic freedom.  We support and honor our nation’s heroes and defenders of liberty.  We respect the work of the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, the Wounded Warrior Project, and the Semper Fi Fund.

We support basic research, clinical and scientific initiatives, and HIV/AIDS research, prevention and treatment. Clinical projects are accomplished through funding and training of, or personal participation in, on-site teams of medical personnel.  We are proud to work with the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Elton John AIDS Foundation, and AmFAR, as well as many regional organizations throughout the world.
