About us

The WoodNext Foundation manages the philanthropy of tech innovator and Roku CEO/Founder, Anthony Wood, and his wife Susan.
Their philanthropic efforts are guided by their overall mission to advance human progress and remove obstacles to a fulfilling life.
The WoodNext Foundation's priorities include mental health, homelessness, scientific and biomedical research, disaster recovery, and economic opportunity with a focus on addressing root causes.
The Foundation also grants to various nonprofits supporting free markets, individual freedom, and transparency.
Because of the Woods’ strong ties to Texas, the Foundation’s geographic priority is the southern region of the United States, although the Foundation makes grants in other regions nationally and internationally.
