The Goggio Family Foundation
The Goggio Family Foundation was founded in 2009 (www.goggiofoundation.org). The Goggio Family Foundation is a small family foundation that is looking for good nonprofits to support.
The awards are typically $5,000 so they are looking for organizations that have specific projects, want
to pilot something new or are up-and-coming.
MISSION
The mission of The Goggio Family Foundation is to transform lives and
strengthen communities by fostering innovation, creating knowledge,
and promoting social progress.
PROGRAM AREAS
Philanthropy plays an essential role in easing suffering and advancing
positive change. As a small family foundation, we seek ways to
leverage our resources to make a difference in a world of many needs.
The Goggio Family Foundation respects the dignity of all people,
believes in the power of ideas to transform society, values education
and knowledge-sharing, and has confidence in the potential to create a
better world. To fulfill its mission, the Foundation has developed the
following program areas:
The Community Development and Social Change Program promotes social
progress and sustainable economic development through advances in
science, health, arts, and technology. We are concerned about the
needs of low-income and disadvantaged individuals and communities. We
seek ways to support leadership development, community empowerment,
and economic development where it is most needed.
The Environmental Preservation Program supports technology innovation,
education, and action around issues of energy, climate change, and
strategies for the protection, restoration, and sustainable management
of ecosystems. An area of interest is promoting consensus building
among government, business, and non-governmental organizations aimed
at improving environmental policies.
The Educational Program encourages the attainment of knowledge and
skills, and the practice of responsible citizenship through access to
learning opportunities. The Foundation provides support for innovative
programs to develop leadership skills, provide support to at-risk
and/or disenfranchised youth, and support programs that promote
academic excellence, artistic expression, and critical thinking. There
is particular interest in programs for students from under-served
communities, and for teachers to improve their own capabilities and
performance.
The awards are typically $5,000 so they are looking for organizations that have specific projects, want
