Delle Maxwell and Pat Hanrahan started the Maxwell/Hanrahan Foundation in 2018 to support individual scientists, teachers, conservationists and creators whose diverse perspectives enable us to discover new things about ourselves and our world.
The Foundation supports people who:
Explore and ask through fieldwork in natural sciences.
Create and captivate as they promote mastery in art and craft.
Teach and try as they support students in public education.
Conserve and connect as they encourage care for the natural world.
The Foundation makes grants by inviting external experts and staff from relevant fields to recommend projects and institutions for funding. As we do this work, we honor curiosity and continuous learning, inclusion, innovation and risk-taking, flexibility, collaboration, and fun.
