The Roddenberry Foundation (TRF) supports innovative thinking, original ideas, and extraordinary people who can change the world. Through four core programs we cast a wide net to uncover and support these great, often untested ideas and the individuals and organizations whose vision and leadership have the potential to bring them to fruition. These programmes are: The +1 Global Fund, The Roddenberry Fellowship, The Catalyst fund, and Prize, all of which offer opportunities for original thinkers, activists, and innovators from all walks of life to pursue significant, lasting change.
- The Roddenberry Prize is a $1 Million global competition to crowdsource bold solutions to issues that demand an audacious, far-reaching, and scalable response. The Prize is our response to the urgency and complexity of the issues we all face and the growing and exponential impact our actions have on each other and our planet.
- The Roddenberry Catalyst Fund is awarded to early-stage ideas and projects that have the potential to radically reframe existing problems, surface untapped innovations, and disrupt how and by whom we make the world a better place.
- The Roddenberry Fellowship is a U.S.-based Fellowship awarded to extraordinary leaders and advocates who use new and innovative strategies to safeguard human rights and ensure an equal and just society for all.
- The +1 Global Fund is the first fund of its kind, with no applications, restrictions, or reports, driven by a “network-of-networks” of social entrepreneurs and innovators who are tackling the health, economic, and social impact of Covid-19 in their communities.
One of the foundation's focus areas is related to the environment, including clean water, pollution, climate change, and the economic and social justice ramifications of environmental policies.
