Who We Are
Siegel Family Endowment supports organizations working at the intersections of learning, workforce, and infrastructure.
Technological change has radically altered the way we live, work, and learn. The transformation of the global economy has impacted society on every level—from schools to the workplace to our built environment —and altered the terms on which people are able to access opportunities and thrive in daily life. In order to address the biggest challenges we face today, we aim to ensure all people have the tools and equitable access to systems necessary to engage with and affect change in a rapidly evolving world.

Introducing our Public Interest Technology Case Studies
The pace of technological change can induce whiplash; from generative AI, to robotics, to bioengineering, to virtual and augmented reality, it seems that there’s always a new innovation. Yet these technological advances are not always accompanied by discussion, regulations, and designs that consider negative impacts or unrealized potentials. At Siegel Family Endowment, we are committed to advancing a vision of technological change that includes and improves the lives of all people.
