JPB Foundation Program Areas Our Values Our Strategies About the Foundation ABOUT THE FOUNDATION Board of Directors Advisory Committees Leadership and Program Staff The JPB Mission To advance opportunity in the United States through transformational initiatives that empower those living in poverty, enrich and sustain our environment, and enable pioneering medical research. Our Story The JPB Foundation, created in 2011 with an endowment bequeathed by Jeffry M. Picower, and led by Barbara Picower as President and Chair, sustains the philanthropic spirit that animated Jeffry and Barbara’s history of giving. In its first several years, JPB established its three core Programs – Poverty, Environment, and Medical Research. JPB worked with a lean staff, consultants, and high-level Advisory Committees in each of its three program areas, composed of distinguished experts from a variety of disciplines within program area. The Advisory Committees counseled JPB on strategies for achieving impact. JPB now supports a portfolio of nationally recognized and emerging organizations. To provide vital guidance to JPB’s leadership as the Foundation implements, evaluates and expands its programs, in 2018 JPB invited national experts to a new joint Advisory Committee for the Poverty and Environment Programs. Our Approach Building on the successes of The Picower Foundation, JPB remains faithful to Jeffry and Barbara’s longstanding goal to have as large an impact as possible on pressing societal problems in the US. Toward this end, The JPB Foundation directs its giving to three program areas— promoting opportunities for people in poverty, advancing medical research, and enabling a healthy environment—in which, through sustained focus over time, it can make a significant difference.
