Chan Zuckerberg Initiative

Overview

The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) is a philanthropic organization founded in December 2015 by Mark Zuckerberg and Dr. Priscilla Chan. Operating as a limited liability company (LLC), CZI is primarily funded by Zuckerberg's pledge to donate 99% of his Facebook shares. The organization seeks to advance human potential and promote equality in health, education, scientific research, and other systemic issues.

CZI's work centers on science, education, and social justice. It backs biomedical research, supports the Biohub Network for scientific collaboration, and invests in personalized learning and education equity. The organization also addresses community challenges such as housing affordability and criminal justice reform through grantmaking, impact investing, technology development, and policy advocacy.
