The Robertson Foundation is a private family foundation based in New York, established in 1996 by Julian H. Robertson Jr., his wife Josie, and their family. It prioritizes human capital as a key driver of change and supports individuals and teams pursuing transformative advances in education, energy and food systems, and health research. The foundation emphasizes careful inquiry, contextual understanding, and long-term backing for partners seeking breakthroughs, organizing its work around three portfolios: Education, Environment, and Medical Research. It does not accept unsolicited proposals and engages with partners to address the root causes of complex challenges. In September 2021, the foundation named Richard Barth, CEO of the KIPP Foundation, as its President, and its staff is described as small to mid-sized, reflecting its focused scope.
