HECKSCHER FOUNDATION FOR CHILDREN
The primary aim of the Heckscher Foundation's grant making is to "level the playing field" for underserved youth by providing access to education and the varied experiences that make for a richer, forward-reaching life. Our goal is to foster venture philanthropy using three principal funding strategies: catalytic giving, strategic partnerships and targeted problem solving.
