SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATH (STEM) EDUCATION
The Foundation believes that a nation’s strength in the fields of engineering and science enables its capacity to perform, enhances its opportunities for innovation, and leads to a better quality of life for society as a whole. The Directors have a particular interest in enhancing engineering education and supporting public awareness and appreciation of the contributions made by engineering and science to society’s welfare.

To meet these objectives, the Foundation seeks to:

  • Promote excellence in math and science education at the primary and secondary school levels
  • Promote opportunities to increase the number of young people entering the STEM field
  • Support organizations and programs that advance public awareness of the importance of engineering
  • Support programs and institutions of higher learning that advance excellence in STEM education and expand professional opportunities in the field of engineering for all groups with particular emphasis on those currently under-represented
  • Encourage educational and professional collaboration among various engineering disciplines and societies


ENVIRONMENT
The Foundation believes that the earth and its inhabitants require a fine balance between natural order, conservation of resources, and those demands inherent in growth and development. The Directors have a special interest in the restoration and conservation of California wetlands and waterfowl and the conservation of ecologically significant open spaces that enhance the understanding, use, and enjoyment of the outdoors for all sectors of society.

To meet these objectives, the Foundation seeks to:

  • Promote and support restoration and conservation of California wetlands and the Pacific Flyway

  • Support programs that increase, on a sustainable basis, the waterfowl populations in the Pacific Flyway

  • Support programs and research on sustainable conservation practices

  • Support programs that increase environmental literacy and engage people in the work of caring for the environment

  • Support the development, restoration, improvement and protection of national and local parks, especially San Francisco Bay Area urban parks, for the use and enjoyment by all people
