Our Focus

Our giving is concentrated in areas of particular and personal interest to Colonel Pritzker, reflecting her interest in the military, history, the environment and human health. Uniting those interests are threads of preservation, conservation and discovery. The TAWANI Foundation supports organizations whose focus reflects our own: to connect the past with the future, and to use that perspective to make a real, measurable difference in the present.

Our educational grants reflect a commitment to a diversity of educational possibilities. The institutions we support represent a range of instructional approaches and curricula, but share in common a commitment to excellence and opportunity for the students they serve.

With a focus on organizations following a science-based, human-rights approach, the TAWANI Foundation funds studies and efforts aimed at leading to a better understanding, and acceptance, of gender and human sexuality diversity. We are committed to increasing knowledge of that diversity by promoting awareness of the biological and social factors that make us unique as individuals and bind us together as a broad community.
