In addition to his activity as an investor, he established the Hussman Foundation, which seeks to “provide life-changing assistance through medical research, education, and direct aid to vulnerable populations having urgent needs or significant disabilities.” Their projects include the Hussman Institute for Autism, major support of the Carter Center's work with tropical diseases, care of refugees along the Burma/Thailand border, and the Light House homeless shelter and support center in Annapolis, MD.
