About

The Samueli Foundation is a private philanthropic organization established in the United States by Broadcom co-founder Henry Samueli and his wife, Susan Samueli. Headquartered in Southern California, the foundation reflects the couple's long-term commitment to high-impact community investments and systemic societal improvements. Its operations are driven by a creative, entrepreneurial approach to philanthropy, aimed at scaling innovative solutions that foster health, learning, and overall well-being. The foundation primarily directs its funding toward a diverse range of focus areas, including science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education, integrative health, youth services, and Jewish community programs. Through substantial endowments and strategic grants, it has significantly expanded academic programs at major universities, advanced research into holistic medicine, and supported local community enrichment projects. Under its current executive leadership, the organization continues to manage its multi-million dollar asset base to build resilient communities and empower future generations.
