Within science-baesd development, the focus is on the developing world and emphases are on the global environment; on the agricultural, health, and population sciences; and on a very limited number of special African initiatives.

The Foundation is administered by its president through a staff drawn from scholarly, scientific, and professional disciplines. An independent board of trustees, which meets four times a year, sets program guidelines and financial policy and approves all appropriations.

To this end, the Together Foundation encourages private-public partnerships.
