Our Mission

The JPB Foundation helps people who have been denied power to build it, so they can change unjust systems and create a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society.

Our History

The JPB Foundation was created in 2011 with an endowment bequeathed by Jeffry M. Picower, with Barbara Picower at the helm as President and Chair for over a decade. In February of 2024 Barbara became President Emerita, while remaining Chair of the Board, and Deepak Bhargava assumed the role of President. Throughout our history, we have been guided by our values and our deep commitment to support transformational initiatives that advance a more democratic, inclusive, and sustainable society.
