The Pershing Square Foundation

The Pershing Square Foundation is a New York-based foundation that deploys philanthropic capital, grants and social investments through Pershing Square Philanthropies. It focuses on impact-oriented health and education initiatives, with a major emphasis on cancer research, biomedical innovation and life sciences through the Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance, which supports early-career scientists in the United States. The foundation is relevant for founders and organizations in biotechnology, oncology, life sciences, education and social-impact areas seeking grant or social-investment capital rather than conventional venture funding.
