Real Progress Foundation

Real Progress Foundation The Real Progress Foundation was created in 2024, as the merger of two former foundations: the Glaser Progress Foundation (founded in 1996) and the RealNetworks Foundation (founded in 2001). The Foundation funds strategic initiatives in three program areas: climate, democracy, and community. History - Rob Glaser founded Glaser Progress Foundation in 1996 to build a more just, sustainable and humane world through investments in better measurements of progress, independent media, health, and climate change. - The Real Networks Foundation was created in 2001 by the Real Networks Corporation, primarily focused on supporting community-based organizations in areas such as housing, health, and food security. - In 2024, these two foundations merged to create the Real Progress Foundation which will now leverage the experience, skills, and strengths of both prior foundations to achieve a broader reach and further Rob Glaser’s vision for progressive change in the coming decades.
