Marcus Foundation
The Marcus Foundation is a prominent philanthropic organization established by Bernie Marcus, co-founder of The Home Depot, and his wife, Billi Marcus.

The foundation also supports other areas of research related to the brain. In 2025, the foundation gave $30 million to the University of Michigan and Stanford University for work related to stroke patients.
