A note to our community from our President, David Beckman
The Pisces Foundation has been honing our focus on how to best support our partners. I am proud to share the result: an updated focus centered around unlocking complex challenges through collaborative action. At the heart of this evolution is a simple idea: meaningful progress happens when people, resources, and ideas come together with shared vision and alignment. That’s why our new look, previewed above and soon to appear on our website, evokes the new shapes and fresh momentum possible when many individual pieces join together.
Our approach is anchored in:
Enabling pathways to progress
Investing in collaboration tools and conversations that help bridge divides, so we can go farther and faster together.
Building the basics that make progress stick
Funding shared building blocks, accessible data, critical analysis, trusted relationships, empowered leaders, and energized organizations—so progress can accelerate and, when setbacks occur, momentum can be regained.
Ensuring that all of us can feel the differences in the world
Supporting meaningful results—such as cleaner water, healthier neighborhoods, and more vibrant cultural spaces—so change isn’t just theoretical, but is tangible and inspiring.
We’re applying this approach to initiatives that improve the environment and climate and help our home base, San Francisco, thrive for everyone who lives here.
Our Founders, Randi and Bob Fisher, and our whole team know that making meaningful progress on problems that crisscross issues and places requires our feet to be planted in the present, while our eyes focus on the horizon. Our evolution was shaped by essential input from many of you, and we are deeply grateful for your partnership and insight.
With appreciation,
David Beckman
President, Pisces Foundation
