Keck Foundation’s 60th anniversary, we reflect on the growth of our grantmaking through six decades of furthering our founder’s mission: to provide far-reaching benefits to humanity by funding high-risk, high-impact scientific endeavors. My grandfather, William Myron Keck, only went through the eighth grade in school. He left school to sell sandwiches on the railroad in Reading, Pennsylvania. He ended up working on a drilling rig. And this is where his legacy begins. W. M. Keck was a pioneer and an innovator. In 1921, he founded The Superior Oil Company. Mr. Keck’s dedication, willingness to take calculated risks and strong interest in emerging technologies enabled Superior Oil to become a global leader in the exploration and production of oil and gas. He was the first person to do directional drilling in California in the 1930s. He was the first to use seismic technology to find oil in the mid-30s.

    W. M. KECK FOUNDATION 2013 annual report IMPACT 3D printing of customized BONE IMPLANTS Apps as a gateway to majoring in COMPUTER SCIENCE Technology harnessed for EDUCATIONAL GAINS Nanodiamonds sensing BRAIN CIRCUITRY W. M. KECK FOUNDATION 2013 ANNUAL REPORT CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE As we celebrate the W. M. Keck Foundation’s 60th anniversary in 2014, it is with great pride that I write to you about the tremendous impact our grantees continue to make in diverse fields of science and medicine, in undergraduate education and in the Los Angeles community. With a mission to provide far-reaching benefits to humanity, the W. M. Keck Foundation is not only engaged in grantmaking that makes possible the cutting-edge research it funds today, but it is also investing in the exponential impact that the research and its findings will have in the future. I am pleased to share accounts of past grants in this year’s report that exemplify recent impact. After you have read these, I encourage you to visit our website periodically to read other impact stories that we post. You will read about 3D printing technology that researchers are harnessing to manufacture replacement parts for the human body. After years of struggling with less precise methods, the scientists we fund are developing new ways to monitor neuronal activity in the brain. Ironically, since this is our diamond jubilee, I note that their breakthrough involves the use of diamond crystals. In this era of growing need for a technologically savvy workforce, a grantee in our undergraduate program is attracting students into programming through an alluring “App Inventor.” We also continue our commitment to promoting the arts, civic engagement and community services, early childhood and K-12 education, and health care programs in Los Angeles.
