Our Founders

We’re inspired by the innovation, compassion and focus of our founders, Gordon and Betty Moore. Gordon’s thinking was part of the birth of Silicon Valley in the late 1950s. Betty’s commitment to improving the lives of patients resulted in a regional collaborative that is making a difference in the care that Californians receive. Together, they’ve identified places where they, and the foundation, could create positive change for future generations.

Our Approach

The opportunity to create lasting, meaningful change drives our approach to our work. We establish specific strategies based on input from experts, identify partners who share our goals and measure results along the way—all while making adjustments as needed. We build relationships and fund work in areas where we hope to make a significant impact. We’re okay with failing, as long as we learn from our mistakes. And we know that working together expands our ability to drive meaningful change.
