Impact
Humanity will not become a true multi-planet species until our offworld communities are completely independent, which will likely take centuries. Until then, we need Earth to survive and thrive. Therefore, we actively support organizations building the global ecosystem necessary to expand humanity into the cosmos.
BioAstra
BioAstra is a leader in space medicine and healthcare innovation, leveraging cutting-edge research to develop transformative solutions for both interplanetary missions and healthcare on Earth.
The WayPaver Foundation’s grant supports BioAstra’s Crew-2 program, focusing on pharmacology and genomic astronaut health research. This mission builds on prior research to advance personalized medicine for astronauts and beyond.
MultiPlanet University (MPU)
MultiPlanet University (MPU) provides hands-on, applied research programs to advance planetary science and exploration.
The WayPaver Foundation supported the creation of a specialized curriculum for students dedicated to making humanity a multi-planet species, equipping the next generation with the tools to lead in space exploration.
Mamoní Valley Preserve
Mamoní Valley Preserve protects a 29,000-acre watershed in Panama, a critical biodiversity hotspot.
The WayPaver Foundation supported two key initiatives: the Apiculture Program, which trains local communities in sustainable beekeeping to enhance biodiversity and livelihoods, and the Sustainable Farming Program, which promotes eco-conscious agricultural practices to strengthen conservation and food security.
Humans2Venus Foundation
The Humans2Venus Foundation is dedicated to exploring Venus as a potential long-term destination for humanity.
The WayPaver Foundation supported Humans2Venus by contributing to program development, assisting in the creation of the groundbreaking Venus Roadmap, and sponsoring their participation at IAC 2024. Together, we’re paving the way for humanity’s exploration and settlement of Venus, advancing innovation and collaboration in the space sector.
