About
THE SIMONS FOUNDATION is a private charitable foundation based in Vancouver, Canada, with a clear mission focused on nuclear disarmament, human security and international law. The Foundation is actively engaged in promoting positive change through education in peace, disarmament, international law, and human rights, and also supports the local arts and cultural community in Vancouver.
Led by Dr. Jennifer Allen Simons, an award winning educator, nuclear disarmament expert, thought leader and policy advisor, the Foundation has worked behind the scenes on most of the major international peace initiatives of our day - providing critical financial support, convening international leaders in policy dialogue, and driving academic research. The Weapons of Mass Destruction Commission, The Responsibility to Protect Doctrine, the Geneva Space Security Conferences, Nuclear Weapons Non-Proliferation negotiations, and Strengthening Genocide Prevention at the UN are just a few of the international initiatives that have benefited from The Simons Foundation’s strategic philanthropic approach.
The Simons Foundation has demonstrated that with a clear mission focused on human security, international law and nuclear disarmament, a well-connected and educated leadership and a strong financial base it is possible for a small organization to have a significant global impact.
