In 1992, Jim created Stowers Innovations, Inc. to help publish and promote the ideas and philosophies that led to his success.

Having achieved success, Jim's wife, Virginia and he want to give back something more valuable than money to the millions of people who made them successful. They want to help people enjoy a healthier life. This decision led to the creation of the Stowers Institute for Medical Research. This state-of-the-art facility is dedicated to removing the threat of dreaded diseases in people's lives. Through biogenetic research it will, hopefully, some day find a cure for cancer, AIDS, Alzheimer's and many other diseases. For more information, please visit www.stowers-institute.org.
