What Longevity Science Means for Childfree Adults | Dr. Jay Zigmont CFP® & Joshua Herring
Q: How does the Foundation balance impact with financial sustainability?
We view impact in terms of lives improved and healthspan extended rather than pure ROI; 100% of donated dollars go to research, with operating costs covered by our venture-capital partners, and some projects may lead to commercial ventures while many will advance knowledge or policy.

Our mission is to help people live healthier for longer by funding high-quality early-stage research, focusing on preventive and predictive medicine, and translating findings into accessible education to empower individuals to make informed health choices.
