About The Organization
The Moore Family Charitable Foundation is a not-for-profit 501(c)(3) organization. We started this work as a way to enable communities in New York City and Long Island to own their most urgent opportunities.
When we’re not thinking of ways we can help make the world a better place (or practicing our kelp farming strategies in Minecraft), you’ll find us puzzling, learning the banjo, making fresh flour tortillas, and defeating Calamity Ganon in new and unprecedented ways.
Meet the Moore Family
Meet Justin, who loves building. Whether building Minecraft worlds with Emily and Calvin, building sandcastles on the beach, or building intelligent systems to run efficiently with high impact, he’s most at home when he’s creating something from the ground up. Through his experience in the tech sector, he's forged a passion for scaling, growing, and building teams around the world.
Meet Wendy, whose favorite thing is a good question. She studied learning and behavior for 10 years, focusing on epistemological development in adolescents. She’s spent 5 years working with young children, the best question generators of all. Through running a small nursery school and building a neighborhood community, she’s developed a devotion to nurturing and growing the collective energy of local communities.
Meet Calvin, who loves figuring out the way things flow. From subway mapping to earth science to Zelda, his passion lies in discovering how things move and develop. His limitless curiosity and sharp wit inspire us every day.
Meet Emily, whose love of math is surpassed only by her love of fire and water. She’s content sitting for hours by the ocean’s roar. Her favorite activities are honing her chess moves against her brother and creating expansive worlds in Minecraft. Her fiery zest for life delights us all.
Our Projects
Our foundation works hard to partner with grassroots movements and to empower local activists transforming their communities for the better with wide-ranging projects touching both the environmental and economic justice spheres. On Long Island we're helping to grow partnerships between scientists, researchers, and those already in the aquaculture industry to work together towards a healthier environment. And in Brooklyn we've been partnering with a number of community activists and charitable organizations, working towards a world in which every caretaker of a young child has access to all of the hygiene supplies that they need.
Values
Kind to ourselves
Each of us is a unique and valuable member of our global community. Belief in our implicit worth affects every choice we make.
Kind to each other
Taking care of each other is the best way to create a better world for everyone.
Kind to the earth
The earth is home to us all. It’s our job to enable systems that can pave the way for better systemic choices in our communities.
