Program areas at Dalio Family Fund
Education: provide grants and programming to enable more equitable education through direct engagement with public school communities and technology driven access to learning. By championing underserved youth in Connecticut and beyond, we strive to unlock students' potential and reengage youth who are severely off-track or disconnected from school and employment. Through programs that increase access to the internet, devices and gaming, we seek to bridge the digital divide in learning.
Oceans & environment: support groundbreaking exploration, scientific research and education aimed at developing a greater understanding and appreciation of the oceans and environment. Enable greater protection of the oceans for the benefit of people globally, including marginalized populations that depend on them for their sustainability. Support programs that inspire the next generation of ocean explorers and problem solvers to advance knowledge of the ocean and its many creatures.
Health & wellness: support health equity and wellness through research, education, improved access to quality healthcare, mental health services, and other supporting services for traditionally underserved communities.
Arts & community: support local organizations aimed at deepening community around the arts, music and culture. Assist other community organizations such as food pantries and shelters to ensure the basic needs of the community are met in a compassionate and caring way.
Economic empowerment: support for organizations that provide underserved communities with a range of opportunities to help build their own capacity, self-sufficiency and resilience including greater access to capital and supporting services.
