The 11th Hour Project

The Schmidt Family Foundation, established in 2006 by Wendy and Eric Schmidt, is dedicated to fostering a balanced relationship between people and the planet through the 11th Hour Project. This initiative focuses on promoting renewable energy, sustainable food systems, healthy oceans, and the safeguarding of human rights. The foundation actively collaborates with communities across the globe, emphasizing the importance of inclusion, diversity, equity, and accessibility (IDEA) in its operations.

By supporting movements led by historically marginalized groups, particularly BIPOC and frontline communities, the Schmidt Family Foundation aims to ensure that environmental and social justice initiatives truly reflect the voices of those most affected. As part of their mission, they prioritize accountability and tangible impact in all endeavors. The 11th Hour Project exemplifies the foundation's commitment to creating a resilient, secure, and equitable world, aligning with their extensive philanthropic efforts to address pressing global challenges
