Quiet Research

The Fisher Global Foundation actively searches for organizations that are moving the dial in our fields of interest. By conducting quiet research, we hope to encourage these champions to focus on their extraordinary work.

About Us

The Fisher Global Foundation is dedicated to improving lives. We seek to fund innovative solutions, lasting change, and inspired leaders through data-driven research. 

Education

66%

of American children read below grade level.
Literacy opens the doors to knowledge, imagination, and opportunity and enables children to explore new ideas, think critically, and communicate effectively. Reading fosters exploration, empathy, understanding, and lifelong learning, empowering children to adapt and thrive in an ever-changing world.

Medicine

71%

of deaths are caused by infectious diseases.
Medical innovation is the cornerstone of human welfare, pivotal to alleviating suffering and aiding accessible global health. The future of disease prevention and hope for healing intersect within curious thinkers and the brightest minds who seek solutions for infectious diseases, invisible illnesses, and terminal diagnoses from the paediatric to geriatric.

Conservation

41%

of ecosystems are at risk of collapse.
Investing in ecology, dendrology, soil research, and agriculture is crucial for sustaining our environment and growing our food sources. We seek great minds whose curiosity is rooted in the search for answers to our universe’s greatest questions about ecosystem resilience, biodiversity, dynamic growth, food security, regenerative agriculture, and more. It is our hope that supporting these projects and people will help establish fertile soil for their creative solutions and innovative ideas. 

Our Values We promote and live by these principles
  • Curiosity
  • Integrity
  • Growth Mindset
  • Data Driven

How We're Different

The Fisher Global Foundation believes that measured risks and unconventional solutions can lead to extraordinary change. While there are infinite areas of need, we are particularly called to support and invest in five pillars of opportunity: Education, Medicine, Conservation, Science & Technology, and First Responders.

We are moving the dial.

Science & Tech

80%

of American economic growth comes from innovation.
As Albert Einstein said, “We cannot solve our problems with the same thinking we used when we created them." Scientific innovation and technology will propel and enrich our human experience. It will also help us tackle the formidable challenges confronting us for the future. Science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics are key to humanity today and vital for our humanity tomorrow.

First Responders

30%

of first responders develop depression or PTSD.
Helping others is central to the heart of the Fisher Global Foundation. First responders and veterans have bravely dedicated their lives to save, help, train, and educate. Investing in first responders and veterans is crucial to the fabric of our communities. In gratitude for their sacrifices and unwavering commitment to service, we aspire to stand in solidarity with courage, and recognize their unwavering presence in safeguarding our welfare and security.

HIGHLIGHT DISEASE RESEARCH
The Fisher Global Foundation supports unconventional seed-stage research that has a high potential to impact the way we treat diseases. These competitive grants help doctors innovate in areas that traditional funding sources don’t. After numerous positive demonstrations with seed funds, our grantees raised another $60M in traditional funding from other sources.
