Our Mission
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, or CZI, is a new kind of philanthropy that's solving some of society’s toughest challenges — from eradicating disease and improving education, to addressing the needs of our communities. Through collaboration, providing resources and building technology, our mission is to help build a better future for everyone.
Our Culture
Our culture begins with our employees, and we’re committed to making sure that every person feels like they belong and are valued. We offer Employee Resource Groups that build community among our staff, and foster a safe and inclusive environment for personal and professional growth. CZI employees shape our culture by leading programming that allows us to have fun outside of our day-to-day roles, including team-wide and org-wide happy hours, lunch and learns, volunteer opportunities, and offsites. Lived experiences, work experiences, and recreation, are all essential when it comes to building out and supporting the teams throughout our organization.
Better Together
We value collaboration at CZI and see it as the tool to do our work. We believe the most effective collaboration happens when people are together in person. This requires strengthening in-person connections and cultivating a team-oriented environment. Our vision is that our Redwood City offices are a place where you can come to hear innovative ideas, meet great people, and walk across the hall to chat with someone from a different discipline who can add to your work.
Employee Resource Groups
We are dedicated to equal employment opportunities. This includes building a workforce that reflects a broad range of experiences, thoughts, and opinions, creating a thriving organizational culture, driving effectiveness in our work by rewarding individual initiative and performance, and fostering a vibrant environment for personal and professional growth. We want everyone to feel they belong at CZI. We offer employee resource groups that are open to all employees and help advance learning and celebrate culture within our networks at CZI and beyond.
