Schmidt Futures is a philanthropic venture founded by Eric Schmidt and Wendy Schmidt in 2017. The philanthropy funds science and technology research and talent networking programs. The organization's grants include large-scale "moonshots". Schmidt Futures is based in New York City with offices in Washington, D.C., and London.




Scope of work


Schmidt Futures funds basic research for the public good in science, technology, and society. The organization searches for talented people and focuses them on hard problems through networks and competitions, new research or policy organizations, and scholarships and fellowships. In addition to basic science, Schmidt Futures also funds innovations toward basic societal needs such as internet access, COVID-19 relief, poverty relief, and relief for emigrants from recent war in Afghanistan and Ukraine.
