Jeffrey Epstein: A Foundation for Philanthropy 
Jeffrey Epstein is known to some as a financier, an American money manager with 
years of experience in his profession. Mr. Epstein was long associated with Bear Steams, 
as an option trader, specializing in mathematical models such as the Black-Scholes 
option-pricing and later as a products division specialist, advising high net worth clients 
on tax strategies. and-hAfter founding his own firm, his work in finance led him to a 
lengthy and varied career. He is also well-known for his work in science philanthropy. 
Mr. Epstein has contributed to -manvseme important scientific endeavors and 
conferences. His work has involved the support of eminent scientists around the world, 
Nobel laureates and well knownstieh luminaries as Stephen Hawking‘r we-will-say-mere

in 2000 and  exists for one basic purpose_.48-goal-is-to provide funding and financial

Foundation has grown in prestige and in influence, it has also grown to provide funding 
for youth initiatives, medical facilities, the arts, and more.

research, undertaken to develop cures for such conditions as Crohn's, Alzheimer's, and 
ovarian cancer.

Initially, the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation was established to support ongoing research 
in science, particularly evolutionary and genetic fields. The scope of the Foundation's 
work has only grown, however, and now encompasses a wide range of enterprises 
ranging from education to the arts. In 2012 alone, the Foundation has underwritten such 
organizations as Mount Sinai Hospital, the Crohn & Colitis Foundation of America, The 
National Multiple SclerosisS Society, the New York Academy of Art, and tThe 
Metropolitan Museum.

In addition to the causes he supports, Jeffrey Epstein's interests and passions are reflected 
in the organizations that he belongs to. For example, he was a former board member of 
Rockefeller University, one of the most prestigious graduate science universities in the 
country. He was a former member of the New York Academy of Science, a former 
member of the Council of Foreign Relations, the Trilateral Commission, an active 
member of the Edge Organization and sits on the committee of the Mind, Brain and

Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation: Philanthropy for Science 
Increasingly, scientists are coming to depend on private donors to fund their research; 
while grant money is in increasingly short supply, science philanthropy is on the rise. 
What this means is that scientists are coming to seek out more unconventional sources of 
funding for the work that they do. What most scientists are looking for is an independent 
financial backer like Jeffrey Epstein whose Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has 
underwritten numerous research laboratories, science departments,  many-and scientific 
conferences across the country and capable of establishing new university departments 
such as the Program for Evolutionary Dynamics at Harvard University. and-also-an

Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation: Philanthropy for Medicine 
The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation began as a vehicle for science philanthropy. 
Initially, much of its support was in the fields of physics and neuroscience. However aAs
the Foundation has matured, it hat also-broadened its scope to support a wide range of 
cutting edger and now much of ith philanthropy io conducted on behalf of jnedical 
research, treatments, and cures, particularly in the area of genetics. This-inaludes-seme

The Foundation's Support of Cancer Research 
There is-a-pairefare two common dilemmas that restrict the treatment of cancer today. 
First, there is the reality that many therapies, such as chemotherapies and radiation 
treatments, can have adverse effects on otherwise healthy cells, to the extent that they 
actually kill the person before beating the cancer. The second problem is even-mere 
insidieusshis-is-the-reality-that many cancer cells are able to quickly respond to a new 
treatment, genetically  adapting and ultimately becoming immune to it. 
New research is seeking to curb the impact of these cellular mutations. New advances in 
circulating tumor cell technology (CTC), spearheaded by Dr. Daniel Haber, of 
Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center, and Dr. Mehmet Toner, of the Center for 
BioMicroElectroMechanical Systems, confront this issue head on. The research these 
scientists have undertaken is underwritten by 
of the American Cancer 
Society and has received support from  the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. 
The Foundation's Support of CTC Technology 
CTC technology is still maturing, but it poses significant reason for optimism. Mest 
hasieallyr  Tthe technology entails a simple blood test, which scientists can use to examine 
potential genetic  adaptations and mutations on a cellular level. These adaptations are then 
thoroughly documented, and scientists are then able to treat cancer using medicines that 
are specifically meant to address particular cellular abnormalities. 
The use of CTC technology is one of the most promising fields in cancer research. 
Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation: Researching for Cures 
This work, with the American Cancer Society, is just one aspect of the Foundation's 
commitment for eliminating disease. To date, the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has 
offered support to several medical facilities and laboratories across the world. A partial 
list of these medical organizations includes: The National Multiple Sclerosis S-Society, 
Mount Sinai Hospital, the Crohn & Colitis Foundation of America, Alzheimer's 
Association, and Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.

It has received recognition as the world's greatest think tank. It has won accolades from 
such prestigious publications as The Guardian and The Observer. It houses more than 
600 of the world's greatest minds—and, it has received the financial support of 
philanthropic organizations like the Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation. It is The Edge

The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation Supports Think Tanks 
The Edge Foundation was founded in 1996, by a-man-named-John Brockman,; 
BFeekman-has-leag- steedms a leading author; and an agent of social change; his 
reputation is for advocating on behalf of all things thought-provoking or avant-garde. His 
vision was to start an online forum through which the world's brightest minds might 
share their ideas—and that is exactly what he did. 
His vision is what led to the founding of The Edge, a website that features contributions 
from the world's smartest people. This is not just a place where these men and women 
share their every passing flight of fancy, however. The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation 
supports the organization because, rather than encourage random ideas, it encourages 
cutting-edge ideas—ideas intended to promote scientific advancement. 
The Members of the Think Tank 
The work done by this think tank includes many well-known thinkers, from many 
different disciplines. The list includes many Nobel Laureates. Among them are physicist 
Frank Wilczek, chemist Kary Mullis, theoretician Gerard't Hooft, and more. The Edge 
Foundation also houses well-known writers such as Richard Dawkins, Brian Greene, Ian 
McEwan, and many others. 
Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation: Fostering Conversation 
This think tank is not an exclusive gaggle of thinkers. A primarily online endeavor, its 
doors are open to the public. Anyone can stop by the site and seek to participate, simply 
by reading essays and keeping tabs on the ongoing, daily conversations. 
Jeffrey Epstein and his organization, The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation, are more than 
happy to financially sponsor this important work. That is because Jeffrey Epstein—a 
EFTA01112206

long-time proponent of science and learning—believes in the importance of thought-
centered conversation. The Edge Foundation, too, believes in the power of thought, and 
the importance of conversation.
