Several years ago Quixote Foundation began to see pinnacle opportunities in our interest areas. When we asked ourselves how best to respond, we decided spending everything would produce the strongest long-term legacy. We are accelerating our grants through 2016 and will wrap up the paperwork in 2017. Although this process is usually called spending out or down, we think of our path as spending up. Our effect won't be diminished by putting more money into action. Spending everything now is an expansive way to fulfill Quixote Foundation's purpose.

Current events point to a landmark chance to make the most of our assets, and we can't wait. Between now and 2017, Quixote Foundation will spend all of its money into progressive work, using the entire endowment. We believe spending up now is the best way for our foundation to have a perpetual impact.
