How the foundation supports the people, places, and ideas building water and climate resilience: the programs, the outcomes we measure against, and the formal details behind the work.
The horizon we measure the work against. Every grant, scholarship, and initiative is a step toward these.
Better management and conservation of water resources, leading to more reliable access to clean water and reduced scarcity.
Adaptation strategies and technologies that help communities and ecosystems withstand climate-related risks and stresses.
A new generation of experts equipped to lead the initiatives and projects that resilience will demand.
A more connected network across academia, industry, government, and civil society, pooling resources toward common goals.
The AO Legacy Foundation is a private charitable foundation established in 2024 and based in Denver, Colorado. It was founded by Christopher Peacock, whose career has been spent at the intersection of water, agriculture, and finance, most recently as founder and CEO of AQUAOSO, a water and climate intelligence company acquired in 2024.
The foundation carries that work forward in a different form: not as a business, but as a long-term commitment to the resilience of the systems we all depend on.
