The John P. Hussman Foundation The mission of the Hussman Foundation is to provide lifechanging assistance through medical research education and direct aid to vulnerable populations having urgent needs or significant disabilities. To achieve the greatest impact the Foundation emphasizes projects having the capacity to save or significantly improve lives at a small financial commitment per person affected. These projects are often on the margin that divides a modest amount of help from nothing at all. The Hussman Foundation seeks to tip the balance in critical areas where research or intervention can significantly alter the course of individual lives and where resources would otherwise not be available.
