Templeton World Charity Foundation is a Bahamas-based non-profit organization focused on funding interdisciplinary inquiry into human nature and potential. Founded in 1996 by Sir John Marks Templeton, it directs its grantmaking through core fields that span science and religion, character development, personal freedom and free markets, genetics, genius, and voluntary family planning. The organization supports research teams and institutions through grants, aiming to advance knowledge and progress in these areas. It operates with a relatively small staff and is headquartered in Nassau, New Providence, Bahamas. In January 2026, the foundation appointed Francis Campbell as President, marking a recent leadership update. The foundation has funded diverse projects—from character education initiatives to studies on consciousness and human flourishing—reflecting its cross-disciplinary grantmaking.
