Our Impact
Embracing high-risk ideas that have high-impact potential
Supporting Breakthroughs
In Neurological Diseases
For more than 10 years, the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust has been a partner and source of support for medical research institutions and individuals working to solve humanity’s greatest needs with cutting-edge and emerging ideas. We strive to advance bold ideas and help to make a big impact by supporting areas of research others may overlook. By focusing on providing funding and a network for future-focused approaches often considered too early and high-risk for traditional channels, we are driving forward not only meaningful solutions but the community of those who have the potential to create them for years to come.
We accomplish this urgent and audacious commitment through the Toffler Scholar Program by offering meaningful annual grants and marshaling other scientists, researchers, and donors in support of new ways of thinking and problem-solving.

The Toffler Scholar Program
Perhaps more than anything else we do at the Karen Toffler Charitable Trust, the Toffler Scholar program reflects the future-focused legacy of our founders, Alvin and Heidi Toffler. It is expressly dedicated to filling a support gap for promising young medical researchers, physicians, and scientists who are at a pivotal point in their careers. With funding and a vital, relevant network, recipients have the resources they need to continue their groundbreaking work and develop into experienced professionals.
Toffler Scholars are selected for their keen intellect, innovative thinking, meticulous planning, and demonstrated passion for their work. Through working on disparate projects across multiple areas, every Toffler Scholar is united in his or her goal to advance medical research and bring high-impact changes to all humanity.
