Philanthropic 50: Roger and Vicki Sant

The Sant Ocean Hall in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History gets is name from the fact that Victoria and Roger Sant contributed $25 million to the project in 2008. Most of the couples’ considerable philanthropy, then as now, was channeled through their Summit Foundation, launched by the Sants in 1991 to support issues they believe in, primarily empowerment of women and girls, ocean conservation and sustainable cities.
