What We Do - Hejl Foundation

We are deeply immersed in the areas in which we invest, supporting

ideas and organizations

that contribute to our four program

areas

01
Arts & Culture

Art and artists are crucial for fostering human connection and enriching our lives. Through our Arts and Culture program, the foundation champions the arts' ability to inspire, uplift, and strengthen human connections. We recognize that the arts play a vital role in creating vibrant, healthy communities.

With a focus on Florida, we collaborate with artists, curators, scholars, and organizations to ensure equal access to outstanding arts and cultural experiences. Our initiatives emphasize the importance of making the arts accessible to all, regardless of background or income. By supporting a diverse array of artistic expressions and cultural programs, we aim to celebrate creativity, foster inclusivity, and build a more connected and culturally rich society.
02
Education

Knowledge holds the key to empowerment, and quality education is paramount for unlocking opportunities. Our Education program funds initiatives aimed at expanding learning and support for children, especially those from low- and moderate-income communities. By increasing educational opportunities, we address poverty and equip all children with the tools they need to succeed in school, careers, and life.

Additionally, we focus on post-secondary education by collaborating with colleges, universities, and organizations. We fund fellowships, seminars, and projects in various fields, ensuring that students have access to higher education and the resources necessary for academic and professional success. Through these efforts, we aim to create a more equitable and prosperous future for all.
03
Health

Ensuring healthy futures for people and the planet is at the heart of our mission. Our Health program strives to diminish health inequities by funding innovative tools, strategies, and research. This includes supporting the development of vaccines, biologics, and cross-cutting technology platforms.

These efforts aim to reduce the overall burden of viruses and diseases that affect everyone, ultimately promoting a healthier, more equitable world for all.
04
Privacy & Advocacy

Our Policy & Advocacy program is dedicated to establishing strategic partnerships and advocating for policies that support the advancement of the foundation's mission. By shaping global policies, fostering financial innovation, and providing strategic advisory services, we aim to create a supportive environment for our major program and policy objectives.

We also focus on building strong partnerships and alliances that can advance the foundation’s goals both nationally and globally. Through these efforts, we strive to drive impactful change and support sustainable progress across all areas of our work.
