Digital Strategist

ABOUT THE DAVID AND LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION

The David & Lucile Packard Foundation was founded in 1964 by David and Lucile Packard. We work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. We have collaborated with organizations and leaders in the U.S. and globally to advance progress in science, ocean and land conservation, climate change, women’s reproductive health and rights, and the well-being of children, families, and communities.

In response to multiple, intertwined crises worldwide and within the U.S., the Packard Foundation began in 2021 a long-planned review of our grantmaking strategies. This process involved rearticulating our vision and mission, reexamining our organizational values, and creating a strategic framework that honors the Foundation’s past while promoting justice and equity in all our endeavors.
