Program Officer, Democracy Rights and Governance

Posted on August 21, 2023 ABOUT THE DAVID & LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION The David & Lucile Packard Foundation was founded in 1964 by David and Lucile Packard. We work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. We have worked with organizations and leaders in the U.S. and worldwide to advance progress in the critical areas of science, ocean and land conservation, climate change, women’s reproductive health and rights, and the well-being of children, families, and communities. At a time of multiple, intertwined crises globally and here in the U.S., the Packard Foundation began in 2021 a long-planned review of our grantmaking strategies. The first step of our process was to rearticulate our vision and mission, reexamine our organizational values, and create a strategic framework that builds on and honors the Packard Foundation’s past while advancing justice and equity in all that we do. Our Vision:

A just and equitable world where both people and nature flourish. Our Mission:

We work with people and communities to create enduring solutions for just societies and a healthy, resilient natural world. Our Values:

Equity, Integrity, Belief in Individual Leadership, Thinking Big, Respect, and Effectiveness. In addition to clarifying our long-held values, we added equity. We will champion equity by treating people with dignity, honoring a range of ideas and perspectives from those closest to the issues, creating inclusive processes, and funding people who have been historically excluded to spur progress for all.
