  • The John Templeton Foundation was established in 1987 by the late investor and philanthropist Sir John Templeton; the current president is his son John M. Templeton, Jr. It is usually referred to simply as the Templeton Foundation. The mission of the Templeton Foundation is: to serve as a philanthropic catalyst for discovery in areas engaging life's biggest questions. These questions range from explorations into the laws of nature and the universe to questions on the nature of love, gratitude, forgiveness, and creativity. Our vision is derived from Sir John Templeton's commitment to rigorous scientific research and related scholarship. The Foundation's motto "How little we know, how eager to learn" exemplifies our support for open-minded inquiry and our hope for advancing human progress through breakthrough discoveries. It funds work in the natural and human sciences, in philosophy and theology, in research into free-market solutions to poverty, and in support of gifted education. According to the Foundation, it gives away about $60 million a year in research grants and programs. Grants are made in core funding areas that align with the Foundation's mission statement and charter. Typically, grants are approved in a process that incorporates scientific peer review. The Foundation funds numerous high-level scientific research projects, usually by means of international competitions to which research teams from large universities apply. Grants are subject to standard peer review and approved by an international jury. For example, with the cooperation of the University of Cambridge, 18 grants were awarded for research on the origin and evolution of life and anthropology. Other projects included 30 grants for research in the area of physics and 14 grants in the area of cosmology. In 2008, the Foundation received the National Humanities Medal from the National Endowment for the Humanities.
  • La fondation John Templeton a été établie en 1987 par sir John Templeton, investisseur et philanthrope. Le président actuel de la fondation est le fils du fondateur, John M. Templeton, Jr. La Fondation Templeton est américaine et a son siège à Philadelphie. La mission de la Fondation Templeton est de financer des recherches scientifiques sur ce que les scientifiques et philosophes appellent les « Big Questions » (Les Grandes Questions). Ces « Big Questions » portent sur les lois de la nature ainsi que sur la nature de la créativité et de la conscience. Le fondateur de la Fondation estimait qu’une recherche rigoureuse et une érudition de qualité étaient au cœur des grandes découvertes et des progrès spirituels. Les projets de la Fondation couvrent une variété de domaines notamment les sciences naturelles et humaines, la philosophie et la théologie, et la recherche de solutions capitalistes à la pauvreté. La devise de la Fondation est: « How little we know, how eager to learn ». (Nous savons si peu, nous désirons tant apprendre) Selon la Fondation, elle distribue environ 60 millions de dollars par an pour des bourses et des programmes de recherche.

  • The John Templeton Foundation spends a major part of its resources in the support of research and teaching in the field of science and religion. Science and religion is a new academic discipline still in the process of defining itself. Its practitioners may be theologians, philosophers, psychologists, medical doctors, biologists, or physicists. They engage in a great variety of studies with diverse methods and purposes. His purpose is to rejuvenate the ancient discipline of theology by bringing into it people and ideas from the new disciplines of science. His dream is to see experts in science and religion making new discoveries in religion, as revolutionary as the discoveries that have been made during the last century in science.
