“Thought Experiments” to Action

Curiosity, compassion, collaboration - Carey Marin Davis lived her life embracing these traits. How can we, as citizens of the world, inspire each other to address issues that will, in time, affect us all? Carey started making steps to answer this fundamental question. Please join us in taking steps forward, inspiring each other to make a difference.

Carey, with her restless curiosity, had started to create and engage in “Thought Experiments,’ helping lead peers to come together to inquire deeply about world problems and generate solutions that challenge the assumptions of resources and cultural beliefs, and are sustainable.  

Our first mission with The Carey Projects is for students to submit a proposal about one of Carey’s “big ideas” in Global Affairs at The University of Toronto. We are looking to facilitate Carey’s interest and desire by inspiring students to propose effective ways to address questions Carey had about these issues.  An award will be available to a University of Toronto undergraduate student team, with the selected entry based on the ideals Carey valued: insight, creativity, and interdisciplinary connections. The selected student team would receive support for actionable steps toward implementing solutions through collaboration with other organizations. 

At this time, we are working to raise enough of an endowment for the project to fund itself for decades to come. Please consider supporting The Carey Projects with a donation.
