Our Story
In 2012, building upon decades of charitable giving to education causes, Dr. MT Geoffrey Yeh founded The Yeh Family Philanthropy. In carrying on Dr. Yeh’s legacy, we believe education is a basic human right and a path towards lifelong learning and responsible citizenship.
We are passionate about improving educational outcomes for youth at scale. In our philanthropy, we believe that a competitive advantage should be widely shared and become a collaborative advantage. As such, we are committed to building trusted partnerships with those that align with our values and share our goals.
