Empowering
philanthropy since 2003
Since 2003, The Althea Foundation has used a venture model to provide financial and non-financial support to people, ideas, and initiatives that demonstrate scalable ingenuity and social impact.
We focus on social challenges that have been underfunded, such as: advancing gender equality in technology; funding women and minorities in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM); affordable access to mental health care treatment, and research that improves ethics, transparency, and privacy across the internet.
Our partners are investors, entrepreneurs, and philanthropists who scale and enhance our efforts. Our diversified partner network brings together academics, researchers, technologists, and influencers to improve the economic and social health of our communities and our world.
