The Yogi Foundation inspires our collective sense of possibility.

We do this by collaborating on projects that offer unconventional insight and reframe the challenges of our time.
THE OPPORTUNITY

We treat philanthropy as an experiment in how we care for each other, respond to complexity, and shape the future we long for.

Our giving agenda is focused across three pathways that reflect this approach: rooted in community, bold in vision, and grounded in shared purpose.

Grower Communities

Projects that support the farmers and communities who grow the ingredients in our tea.

New Territory

Projects that challenge norms and explore new ideas across science, the arts, and culture.

Co-Philanthropy

Projects we build with thought leaders and organizations who share our values and commitment.

The Yogi Foundation Grantmaking Philosophy

At The Yogi Foundation, we believe that healing, understanding, and change grow through connection. That’s why our approach to philanthropy is rooted in supporting meaningful work—and bringing it to life in ways people cansee, experience, and carry forward.

We support and co-create meaningful projects that strengthen communities, tell honest stories, and open up new ways of seeing and doing. From efforts rooted in farming communities to discipline-disrupting ideas and creative partnerships, we back work that is life-giving—for communities, cultures, and the land.

“Concern yourself more with accepting responsibility than with assigning blame. Let the possibilities inspire you more than the obstacles discourage you.”
