Dow Jones Description
The mission of The James Irvine Foundation is to expand opportunity for the people of California to participate in a vibrant, successful and inclusive society. James Irvine, a California agricultural pioneer, established the Irvine Foundation in 1937 to benefit the people of California. Since then, the Foundation has met the objectives of its founder by providing over $1 billion in grants to more than 3,000 nonprofit organizations. The guiding principle in all our activities is the idea of expanding opportunity, whether it is by helping youth navigate critical transitions in their lives, by fostering creativity and nuturing a rich cultural environment, or by improving decision making on critical issues facing California today and into the future. Our vision is a state where full and active participation by all Californians becomes a reality. In pursuit of this mission, we are guided by the following goals: - Advance the educational and economic prospects of low-income Californians to share in and create California's prosperity. - Engage a broad cross section of Californians in the civic and cultural life of their communities and the state. - Enhance mutual understanding and communication among diverse racial, ethnic and socioeconomic groups.
