The mission of the Tomberg Family Philanthropies is to support well run and effective programs that make a difference in the areas of poverty alleviation, the environment, health and education. The focus is on supporting projects that help their recipients build capabilities themselves that will last far beyond the end of the specific project.
Due to the limited size and number of grants, the Foundation normally is not able to support ongoing operations of existing programs. The Foundation looks for funding opportunities such as pilot programs, demonstration projects, support of new programs, capacity building or evaluations that allow them to make a larger difference with limited funds than would be possible otherwise.
