Foundation
We believe philanthropy plays an important role in taking risks and accelerating progress and change. Through ZOMA Foundation, we use philanthropy as a catalytic tool to support communities to explore traditional and non-traditional methods, pilot new models, and incubate place-based approaches that can scale and/or replicate in service of strengthening social and economic systems.
