Who we are
The Geoffrey and Sarah Gund Foundation is a professional grantmaking institution built on decades of giving shaped by personal conviction and care. We believe good grantmaking starts with relationships. We take time to understand the organizations we support, their leadership, and the communities they serve. Our work is concentrated in four places where we can be a genuine partner: Philadelphia, New York City, Cleveland, and Martha's Vineyard.
