What is the relationship between the 11th Hour Project, The Schmidt Family Foundation, ReMain Nantucket and The Schmidt Ocean Institute?
Both the 11th Hour Project and ReMain Nantucket (http://remainnantucket.org) are programs of The Schmidt Family Foundation. The Schmidt Ocean Institute is a separate 501(c)(3) private non-profit operating foundation established in March 2009 to advance ocean exploration, discovery, and knowledge, and catalyze sharing of information about the oceans.
Schmidt Marine Technology Partners supports the development of ocean technologies with compelling conservation and research applications, as well as strong commercialization potential.
11th Hour Racing works with the sailing community and maritime industries to advance solutions and practices that protect and restore the health of our ocean. Although we have our founders in common, our mission and program areas are separate.
I represent a professional investment firm and am interested in speaking with someone who manages the Foundation’s capital. With whom should I contact?
Please send your inquiry to info@theschmidt.org and your email will be directed to the appropriate person.
