About Us

Our mission is to improve global living standards by addressing critical challenges through direct capital investments and grants.

Philanthropy has extraordinary potential to help solve some of our hardest problems. But expanding opportunity also means preparing for the challenges that stall social progress. The Gilfoyle Foundation is built to address both.

Our work spans three focus areas: AI safety research, ocean research and exploration, and public policy.
