Of course Biz Stone announced the launch of the Biz and Livia Stone Foundation via Twitter. The welcome page features a personal message of Livia and Biz
Since moving to California many years ago, we have made amazing friends and experienced life changing opportunities. Our goal is to invest in the future of a state that has already given us so much.
We created this modest foundation to support education and conservation efforts here in the state of California. Our plan is to offer scholarships to children and grants to nonprofits but we won’t stop there.
Developing and running original programs in the San Francisco Bay area will allow us to have a direct and positive impact. We want others to share the rewards and opportunities we’ve found here in California.
Thanks,
Biz and Livia Stone
