Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a new kind of philanthropy that's
leveraging technology to help solve some of society's toughest
challenges - from eradicating disease, to improving education.

engineering with grantmaking, impact investing, policy work, and
advocacy, to progress in our mission of building an inclusive, just
and healthy future for everyone.Our ValuesWe believe we can help
build a future for everyone.We aim to be daring, but humble: We
look for bold ideas - regardless of structure and stage - and help
them scale by pairing engineers with subject matter experts to
build tools that accelerate the pace of social progress.We want to
learn fast, but build for the long-term: We want to iterate fast
and help bring new solutions to the table, but we also realize that
important breakthroughs often take decades, or even centuries.Stay
close to the real problems: We engage directly in the communities

those who live them every day. Our success is dependent on building

experiences who can challenge each other's assumptions with fresh
