Creating Greater Opportunity,
Accessible to All
Who We Are
Founded in 1996, the Schultz Family Foundation's mission is to create greater opportunity, accessible to all. Our work is deeply rooted in the lives and values of our co- founders, Sheri and Howard Schultz, who believe talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not.
Our Values and Beliefs
We will see with compassion: We approach our work with open hearts and minds.
We lead with conscience: We pursue entrepreneurial ideas to solve problems and generate impact at scale.
We act with purpose: We have a bias for action as we seek to create a better future for more people.
Where We Focus
We focus on enabling the next generation of Americans to achieve economic mobility through opportunities to learn, grow, and earn.
How can we ensure young people have the best opportunity to become productive, thriving citizens?
By mapping multi-sector assets and aligning incentives with youth at the center, we aim to create a robust ecosystem and the means to navigate it. We are investors in unleashing potential and unlocking opportunity, working in partnership with employers, entrepreneurs, non-profits, and governments that share our aspiration of enabling everyone to access the full promise of America.
