Anthony & Jeanne Pritzker Family Foundation
Environmental solutions need a holistic approach that tackle challenges on local and global scales.
The Anthony and Jeanne Pritzker Foundation bolsters the institute’s transdisciplinary strengths and hands-on approach through several endowments that support faculty chairs, research centers, and the Pritzker Emerging Environmental Genius Award. Foundation co-founder, Tony Prtizker, also sits on the institute’s advisory board, where his thirty-plus years of experience in asset management and middle-market manufacturing translates to actionable insights.
