Chief Financial & Administrative Officer, The Lemelson Foundation About The Lemelson Foundation The Lemelson Foundation harnesses the power of invention to improve lives and address some of the world’s most pressing economic and social challenges. Established in the early 1990s by U.S. inventor Jerome Lemelson and his wife, Dorothy, and guided today by the Lemelson family, the Foundation believes that invention can be a transformative force for good, driving positive change across the globe. With a commitment to promoting Impact Inventing, The Lemelson Foundation works to inspire and enable the next generation of inventors and invention-based businesses in the U.S. and low- and middle-income countries. Impact Inventing is a core framework that ensures inventions: Create positive social impact, Are environmentally responsible throughout the invention lifecycle, and Operate under business models that are financially sustainable. The Foundation has provided over $350 million in grants and other investments to support invention ecosystems and help inventors bring solutions to life. With an endowment of approximately $400 million and an annual budget of $30 million, the Foundation continues to make strategic investments that foster a robust economy in the U.S. while improving the lives of underserved communities in countries around the world. At the heart of The Lemelson Foundation’s mission is the belief that invention is not only about creativity and problem-solving but also about making the world a better, more equitable place for all. Through its programs, the Foundation seeks to equip inventors with the resources, knowledge, and networks necessary to tackle some of the biggest global challenges in a socially and environmentally responsible way.
