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.

Our Values

Our Values

1. Stay close to the work

Whether in education, science, or our local communities — we know the people most affected by the issues should help drive the solutions. Our teams work closely with educators and parents, scientists and community leaders to ensure the voices of people most impacted are heard every step of the way.

2. Build for the long term

Though near-term wins are critical, it will take a new level of commitment and dedication to make lasting, long-term change. We take the long view and know that breakthroughs can often take decades.

3. Learn fast

Though we focus on building for the long-term, we also move quickly. We put in the work because we understand the urgency of the challenges our partners take on. We experiment, iterate, reflect — and then try again if need be.

4. Be daring and humble

We have big ideas about the future we’re working toward, but they can only be realized by placing the perspectives and experiences of the communities we serve first. Our aim is to help accelerate their work and develop new technologies and tools that will help them reach their goals even faster.

5. Collaboration is the tool

Good things happen when people from different backgrounds work together. We bring together experts, advocates, engineers, and change-makers to collaborate and make sure ideas don’t stay siloed.

Benefits for the Whole You

We’re thankful to have an incredible team behind our work. To honor their commitment, we offer a wide range of benefits to support the people who make possible all that we do. We want every employee to feel supported as a “whole person” by CZI, so they can: take care of themselves and their loved ones, live a life of service and grow their career.
