convene - collaborate - create Global Peace Initiatives
Foothill-De Anza Foundation
SAGA provided seed funding for an initiative at Foothill College Veterans Resource Center, in collaboration with the Foothill-De Anza Foundation and the Rotary Club of Los Altos. The program, based on surveys from student veterans, identified housing as their biggest challenge. SAGA’s funding continues to provide housing vouchers for qualifying veterans.
Part The Cloud
SAGA supports a program that funds promising, cutting-edge Alzheimer’s research not covered by traditional institutional models.
Seeds of Peace
This program supports SAGA’s vision of connecting young, diverse leaders to build personal relationships before addressing broader cultural issues. Our founder believed these connections would foster understanding and friendship, embodying ""Being Friends First"" and aligning with Gandhi’s belief that one cannot shake hands with a clenched fist.
An exciting new program is underway that brings together Seeds Of Peace and Middlebury Institute of International Studies in a collaborative effort to expand the knowledge and connections of future leaders around the world.
San Mateo County Historical Association
Bill Laughlin’s (SAGA Founder) dream to share SAGA’s unique story will be realized in the renovated Entrepreneurs Gallery at the San Mateo County Museum. The gallery will feature a short film, 3D display, and interactive timeline highlighting SAGA’s impact on corporate treatment of employees and customers, preserving Bill’s legacy and "The SAGA WAY" for future generations.
Democracy Works
We believe democracy, despite its flaws, is the best path for national growth. It must be based on free and fair elections, ensuring all eligible voters can participate, and must be protected.
One Life Counseling Centers
SAGA recognized the negative impact of COVID-19 on youth, particularly the detachment caused by online learning. In 2021, we began supporting One Life Counseling Centers to help individuals and families cope with stress by offering tools and techniques to adapt to this new reality.
