Mission Call Out Image

The mission of the John Templeton Foundation is to support interdisciplinary research and catalyze conversations that inspire awe and wonder.

We are working to create a world where people are curious about the wonders of the universe, free to pursue lives of meaning and purpose, and motivated by great and selfless love.

What We Fund

We fund work on subjects ranging from black holes and evolution to creativity, forgiveness, and free will. We also encourage civil, informed dialogue among scientists, philosophers, theologians, and the public at large.
