About the Organisation
The Robertson Foundation is a private, family-led foundation established in 1996 by Julian Robertson, the founder of Tiger Management LLC, and his wife Josie. By taking a targeted yet creative approach to philanthropy, the Robertson family seeks to have a positive social impact and create a legacy that reflects their values. The Robertson Foundation has three giving areas – medical research, environment, and education. They have recently clarified the priorities and strategies that will shape the Foundation’s next decade of giving across all areas.
