A Force for
Transformation
We support research and practical innovations that make a lasting impact on human flourishing.
Our Approach and
Current Priorities
Templeton World Charity Foundation supports the world’s best minds and promotes open-minded inquiries in a wide range of fields. We work with top institutions and leading experts from around the world.
The majority of our grants fall under specific priorities — portfolios of projects exploring a common set of aims. Each of these priorities relates to one of the stages of our strategic pipeline for innovation: Discovery, Development, and Launch.
Templeton World Charity Foundation funds a wide range of projects in science, theology, philosophy, and human society. Whatever the topic, all research is conducted at the highest standard of evidence and scholarship. We also support dissemination projects aimed at stimulating intellectual humility, curiosity, and enthusiasm for new discoveries.
