The Parker Foundation is a private foundation established through a $600 million gift by Sean Parker. The foundation builds upon Sean’s historical philanthropic support and capitalizes on his pioneering work in the fields of technology, media, company building, and public policy. Based in San Francisco, the foundation intends to aggressively pursue large-scale systemic change in three focus areas: Civic Engagement, Global Public Health, and Life Sciences.

In 2012, he pledged a $5 million grant to Stand Up to Cancer and the Cancer Research Institute to create the Immunotherapy Dream Team to unite laboratory and clinical efforts that will lead to the immunological treatment, control and prevention of cancer. For his leadership in supporting cancer research, Mr. Parker received the 2013 Oliver R. Grace Award for Distinguished Service in Advancing Cancer Research from the Cancer Research Institute.
Most recently, Mr. Parker pledged $24 million to create the Sean N. Parker Center for Allergy Research at Stanford and made a $ million grant to support Malaria Elimination Initiative at the University of California San Francisco’s Global Health Group. In February 2015, Mr. Parker was ranked number 5 on the Chronicle of Philanthropy’s 2014 Philanthropy 50 list.
