Funding: Grants and Ventures That Support CZI's Mission In addition to traditional grantmaking to support people and organizations working toward our missions in Science, Education, and within our communities, the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative makes venture investments in impact-focused companies, builds tools and products that we can scale and give away for free, and supports capacity building to achieve progress across our work.
