Empowering our next generation for a brighter future.

Supporting education and innovation.

At The David J Park Foundation, we are driven by a simple but ambitious vision: A world in which all young people reach their full potential and meaningfully contribution to society through innovation and technology.

We pursue that vision by gifting grants and scholarships through our own programs, with the aim of fueling the science of learning and enabling its application in a variety of settings. Our mission: To invest in the science of learning and the experiences that youth need from birth to high school to pursue their own path for success.

We liken our work to that of the rider in the rear seat of a tandem bicycle: lending energy and support, while leaving the steering to the researchers, teachers, and families who care for and work with children and teenagers every day, and to the young people whose voices, needs, and experiences shape programs and approaches. We believe that, by working together, we can go much further, much faster, than any of us could go alone.
