The Bezos Family Foundation, based in Seattle, WA, is dedicated to powering the science of learning. Since 2000, their mission has been to help young people reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to society. They achieve this by making grants and operating their own programs, all aimed at fueling the science of learning and applying it in various settings.

The foundation likens their work to that of a passenger on a tandem bicycle, providing energy and support while leaving the direction to researchers, teachers, families, and young people themselves. Over the years, they have partnered with numerous organizations and awarded grants to advance their vision. Their in-house programs include Vroom, which provides science-based tools to inspire brain-building moments for families; Students Rebuild, which amplifies youth voice and encourages them to take action in their communities; and the Bezos Scholars Program, which empowers young people to make a positive difference.

Led by the co-founders and co-chairs Jackie and Mike Bezos, the foundation continues to make a significant impact in the field of education and youth development. Through their commitment and initiatives, they have connected with thousands of young people, helping them lead lives filled with discovery, purpose, and fulfillment
