Charitable
Improving healthcare and education, across the globe.
Our charitable work is led through our foundational arm, the Pinegar Family Foundation. Our focus is on improving healthcare and education across the globe. We believe in placing capital where it makes the biggest impact, which is almost always at the ground level, with the grassroots efforts doing the actual work.
Our thesis
Capital, at the ground level.
Capital makes its biggest impact when it reaches the ground. The grassroots efforts in healthcare and education. The clinicians, the teachers, and the people whose lives change because of the work being done.
We move money directly to the source, in the United States and across the globe. The principle is the same everywhere. Capital should accelerate the people doing the real work, not maintain the overhead around them.
Where capital lands
Four priorities. One discipline.
01
Direct care
Medical, dental, vision, and clinical work for the communities and people who need it most. In the United States and across the globe.

Research
Long-arc gifts to the institutions and investigators chasing answers in critical illness. Parkinson’s disease is a priority.

Education
Building schools, funding teachers, and standing behind the kids whose circumstances would otherwise close the door.

Reform
Backing the operators detangling the cost and complexity of healthcare administration, without diminishing the quality of care.

Direct care.
Care, placed in the hands that need it.
We fund direct clinical work, medical, dental, vision, and other care, in the communities and for the people who truly need and deserve it. In the United States and across the world. Capital moves to the practitioners delivering care, and to the people sitting in the chair.
In the United States
People, in their hardest moments.
Direct support to charities, clinicians, and individuals meeting people at the moments their lives change. The emergency that becomes a bill. The diagnosis that becomes a burden. The care that should never have been out of reach.
Across the globe
Clinical care, where it is unreachable.
Funded clinical, dental, and vision care in countries where people generally cannot afford it. The work is hands-on, local, and built around partners who serve year after year.
Priority 02
Research.
The illnesses without a clear answer.
We focus our research giving on critical illnesses that the field has not yet solved. Parkinson’s disease is a priority. It is a domain without a clear path to a cure, and the patient population is large, growing, and underserved by the answers science has so far.
Our gifts go to the institutions and investigators doing the fundamental work, not to the layers around them. We back long-arc science with patient capital, and we follow the principal investigators we believe in.
Priority 03
Education.
Empowering the kids the world overlooked.
There are extraordinary children, all over the world, who do not receive the same standard of education. Our work is to make that less true. We fund the building of schools and the ongoing education of the children inside them.
The intent is simple. Give kids who deserve it the technical skills, the soft skills, and the belief in themselves to make their own life. Capital placed once, compounding for a generation.
Priority 04
Reform.
Lower the cost. Hold the quality.
The cost of administering healthcare, particularly inside the United States, has grown far beyond what is reasonable. We support and actively invest in the people working to detangle that cost and bloat, reducing the price of care without diminishing its quality.
Surface real price. Restore the clinician and patient relationship. Remove the friction between a person and the care they need. We back the operators, researchers, and clinicians quietly rebuilding the system around the patient.
