The Christensen Family Foundation supports innovative projects to empower human capabilities. The Foundation prefers to use a seed approach to fund all stages of a projects development. The Foundation awards grants to qualified nonprofit organizations with specific identifiable needs in the following areas:

• The Fine Arts
  
• Environmental Research and Preservation
  
• Education and Human Development
  
• Medical Research and Technology.
  
• The Humanities
  

Although the foundation has no geographical limitations, there will be a measure of regional focus on areas in which Foundation family members reside.
