We believe that “science is the answer,” and are committed to investing in organizations that make game-changing advances in nature and science, empower nonprofit organizations, and support important advances in our local communities. Lyda Hill Philanthropies is committed to funding transformational advances in science and nature, empowering nonprofit organizations, and to improving the Texas and Colorado communities. Because Miss Hill has a fervent belief that “science is the answer” to many of life’s most challenging issues, she has chosen to donate the entirety of her estate to philanthropy and scientific research. The organizational ethos of Lyda Hill Philanthropies reflects a mix of entrepreneurial vigor and a commitment to balancing profit with purpose. With this philosophy at the core of Miss Hill’s philanthropic efforts, Lyda Hill Philanthropies is committed to investing in solutions, as opposed to incremental change.
