501(c)(3) organization. EIN: 81-4625648.
The organization was founded in 2017 by Genstar Chairman J-P Conte, in honor of his first-generation American parents, Pierre and Isabel Conte, who left everything behind to start a new life Brooklyn, NY.
The Foundation has delivered millions in funding for projects supporting immigrant and first generation students, immigration policy reform and providing medical and educational support.
We focus on funding projects that deliver real, accountable, change to communities and individuals: not just aesthetic public relations.
We currently work with PADF, UCSF, 10,000 Degrees, APEC, SEO Scholars, Pepperwood Preserve, and the new J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration at the Hoover Institution across a broad range of environmental, social, and educational causes.
The J-P Conte Initiative on Immigration fosters cutting-edge research and facilitates informed academic and policy debates on the economic effects of immigration.
It was an honor to attend the SEO Scholar's Achievement Benefit, spend time with my close friend Orlando Bravo, and hear Carl Thoma speak about his own story and insights into educational equity.
I look forward to seeing what SEO Scholars SF continues to achieve in the years to come. The American Dream begins with equity, let's ensure we keep the doors of achievement open for future generations.
As a son of first-generation immigrants, and the first in my family to go to college, few things are more important to me than ensuring educational equity and opportunities.
That is why I was so enthusiastic when SEO Scholars San Francisco founder Adam Karr introduced me to the SEO program.
JP Conte was proud to meet with the Thai delegation and Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin to discuss economic growth and prosperity within the US, San Francisco, and across the Asia-Pacific Region. The Foundation is delighted to be working with and supporting the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC).
