Wendy Schmidt Biography

The Schmidt Family Foundation, led by Wendy Schmidt, aims to enhance sustainable energy development and encourages more judicious use of common resources. She established the foundation's eleventh Hour Project in 2005, and in 2007 she joined the founding board of Climate Central, an organization that combines a professional media group with content created by experts using the most recent research to assess and depict environmental change. Wendy's other major focus is on creating a framework for workable network improvement through her 2007-founded organization ReMain Nantucket. In 2009, Eric and Wendy founded the Schmidt Transformative Technology Fund at Princeton University to support cutting-edge research and innovation in the conventional sciences and to foster enabling cross-disciplinary collaboration. Similar to this, they established The Schmidt Marine Science Research Institute in 2009 to provide opportunities for top sea and marine life researchers to learn at sea while reporting on planetary motions caused by changing atmospheric conditions. Wendy holds a B.A. with honors from Smith College and a Master of Arts in Journalism from the University of California, Berkeley. She sits on the boards of Nantucket's Dreamland Theater Foundation and The Natural Resources Defense Council Climate Central. Tennis and cruising are included among their interests.
