We are all in this together

The Gere Foundation

The Gere Foundation is a platform for change — not just a foundation, but a channel that amplifies the voices, values, and causes that have touched us deeply. We work side by side with other organizations that share our unwavering commitment to human dignity, environmental justice, and collective responsibility.

Our mission is rooted in compassion and community. We believe that real transformation begins by walking together — acknowledging what is broken, shedding light on, and creating space for healing, action, and joy. Whether standing for the rights of displaced people, advocating for the voiceless, regenerating ecosystems, or elevating timeless wisdom, we are always guided by one principle:

We are in this together. All of us.

The Gere Foundation collaborates with initiatives that reflect this spirit — organizations that not only inspire us, but also align with our belief in shared humanity and lasting change.

Our Causes

The Gere Foundation supports health, humanitarian, and educational initiatives around the world, with a special focus on the cultural preservation of Tibet and the Tibetan people—an enduring commitment of Mr. Richard Gere.

In addition, the foundation is dedicated to addressing homelessness, supporting refugees, defending the rights of indigenous peoples, protecting biodiversity, advancing health research and care, and promoting other humanitarian and sustainability causes.

The Gere Foundation is a private philanthropic organization that provides grant funding exclusively to selected non-profit organizations by invitation only. It does not accept unsolicited proposals, nor does it fund capital campaigns, individuals, films, or for-profit ventures.
