Building peace and prosperity

Doing more good, for more people, faster.

The Stirling Foundation works closely with others who are changing the world for the better. We are building a greater measure of peace and prosperity for families, communities, and nations. We offer strategic support and financial resources to foster collaboration and accelerate impact to do more good, for more people, faster.

Guided by purpose, our work strengthens families, catalyzes economic development, promotes interfaith cooperation, enables education, improves health, and delivers emergency aid where it is needed most.

In all we do, people remain our focus.

Collaboration is at the heart of what we do.

Across regions and cultures, we learn from leaders what their highest priorities are and then develop high-impact initiatives with organizations that share our purpose and are united by passion, integrity, and capability.

We partner with the very best to elevate our joint efforts, scale our impact, and, ultimately, maximize the scale and scope of the people that are helped through our philanthropic endeavors.
