about us
our vision
The Schmidt Family Foundation is a private foundation formed in February 6, 2006 and organized exclusively for charitable, scientific, literary and educational purposes within the meaning of Section 501(c) (3) of Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Foundation also operates various charity programs to support educations, in particular the rapid deployment of renewable energy technologies.
The Schmidt Family Foundation makes grants to organizations and community projects that support only those charitable activities that are bi-partisan in nature of particular interest in scientific, literary and educational efforts.
The Foundation will disseminate high-level, high-quality information about global warming to carefully selected audiences. The Foundation’s objective is to raise awareness about the current climate crisis and inspire people into action. Specific education projects may include (i) distribution of global warming documentaries to churches, schools, and community institutions across the country; (ii) funding school curriculum concerning sustainable living; and (iii) collaborating with other nonprofit educational centers to develop exhibits to teach their audiences about global warming. The Foundation has partnered with the Regeneration Project, an interfaith religious group to distribute and show global warming documentaries to wide range or audiences. In 2007, the 11th Hour Project will work with The California Academy of Sciences to develop exhibits about climate change and sustainable living for their new building in San Francisco.
