Philanthropy: Advocate for Mental Health, Climate Activist, and Education Reformer
Seth Taube is passionate about generating solutions to the immense existential and catastrophic risk factors confronting humanity and our planet. The Seth B. Taube Foundation is committed to a thriving future on Earth, from donations to organizations developing innovative climate technology solutions to helping solve the growing mental health epidemic globally, especially in the wake of the recent pandemic, and reforming our education system at all levels.
Through The Seth B. Taube Foundation, Inc., Taube has committed millions of dollars to support solutions to the climate crisis. Seth’s foundation is focused on climate technology solutions broadly, with a specific focus on regenerative systems, biomimicry, and alternative energy. Seth began investing in climate solutions over twenty years ago and is continuing now through direct investments personally and charitable contributions from his foundation.
Individually and through the Seth B. Taube Foundation, Inc., Taube has also donated to various mental health businesses and charitable organizations addressing the growing epidemic of trauma and suffering globally.
Taube serves on the Board of Directors of the Ketamine Research Foundation, whose mandate is to promote clinical research, training, and protocol development related to psychedelic-assisted psychotherapy.
Seth Taube believes that the breakdown of our education systems, and the breakdown of the information ecology in general, has innumerable lasting negative implications. Our ability as a species to solve the complex problems that we face will require a dramatic increase in our commitment to education reform. Through his foundation, Seth supports education at all levels, from post-secondary institutions to local schools, to charitable organizations supporting novel solutions, to upgrading the level of K-12 education and civic knowledge in general. Seth’s interest in education was cultivated at an early age by his mother, Lorraine, who was a career special education teacher, and his father, Gerald, who has a Ph.D. in Social Welfare and was a college professor. Both parents fostered a commitment to others, emphasizing the importance of advocacy and the need to give back.
Seth Taube is actively engaged in training and developing the leaders of his own businesses, as well as the businesses in which he invests and the charities in which he is involved. Seth has trained and developed hundreds of leaders with novel training methodologies and systems over the last two decades. These systems borrowed from ontological philosophy, cognitive psychology, meditation, and mindfulness, as well as unique content and modalities developed by Seth and his team. He has mentored colleagues who now hold senior positions at large corporations, foundations, and non-profit enterprises. Personally, Seth has trained in a range of leadership modalities over the last twenty years and continues to expand his own leadership capabilities in order to continue to train and develop others.
