The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation have been making grants since 1967 to solve social and environmental problems at home and throughout the world.
The Foundation’s programs have determined goals which include helping to alleviate global poverty, limiting the risk of climate change, improving education for students in California and improving reproductive health and rights worldwide, supporting vibrant performing arts in our community, advancing the field of philanthropy, and supporting disadvantaged communities in the San Francisco Bay Area.
With such far-reaching goals, and relatively limited funds to achieve them, The William and Flora Hewlett Foundation acknowledge how important it is to have sound strategies for success in all programs. The Foundation’s assets were approximately $7.2 billion. The Foundation’s home in Menlo Park, California, is a highly functional, environmentally friendly building which manifests the Foundation’s commitment to social and environmental values. The building was the first in California and only the fifth in the country to receive a Gold-level certification under the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) rating system.
