ABOUT THE SUMMIT FOUNDATION
Since 1991, The Summit Foundation has supported organizations working to improve our world and the quality of life for its inhabitants. Underlying this commitment to global sustainability are three core values that reflect our founders’ philosophy:
* Shifting the Context. Achieving a sustainable and healthy future for the generations to come will entail profound changes in our perspective and thinking. We believe that shifting the context in which problems are viewed can reveal innovative solutions.
* Achieving Results. We are committed to having an impact that is significant and enduring. We seek results that go beyond stopgap measures and that delve into the systemic sources of problems and achieve deeply rooted change.
* Investing in People. We invest in the creative, entrepreneurial spirit of people, and we count on their goodness and wisdom to triumph. We believe that people are capable of extraordinary accomplishments when they have the right tools to achieve their goals and are fully empowered to give their best to the world.
Program Priorities
We currently invest our resources in two program areas:
* Conservation of the Mesoamerican Reef
* Global Population & Youth Leadership
In the areas we fund, we look for projects that rely on constructive engagement and inclusion. Summit encourages collaboration among grantees and partnerships among the various sectors of society—governments, the private sector, non-profit organizations and community-based organizations.
PROGRAM AREAS
Conservation of the Mesoamerican Reef
The Mesoamerican Reef Ecoregion contains the largest coral reef system in the Atlantic Ocean. It extends more than 400 miles from the tip of Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula southward to Belize, Guatemala, and the Bay Islands, off the Honduran coast.
Global Population & Youth Leadership
For the past 15 years, the Summit Foundation has been committed to a world where people can thrive and nature can flourish. We believe that this vision can only be achieved by improving the quality of life of the world’s inhabitants and by ensuring the sustainability of the resource base upon which we all depend.
