Empowerment for AllOur mission is centered around connection and understanding.
We recognize that knowledge has the power to transform people, communities, and institutions–we can’t cultivate justice or a healthy democratic culture without it. That’s why we pour our resources into promoting ideas and information and boosting access to them.
Since Luce’s first grant to Beijing’s Yenching University in 1936, we’ve supported research and education that bolsters individual and communal development. More than 85 years later, the world has evolved along with our thinking. We’ve expanded our idea of what constitutes knowledge and broadened our view of how it can influence meaningful and lasting change.
