As they put their contributions to work for the new Phelps Science Center, two prominent scientific companies from New Hampshire's Seacoast region recognize that their local support today could have national impact tomorrow. Both are interested in supporting potential scientists of the future.
Science education is extremely important.
Fisher Scientific targets a substantial portion of their philanthropic dollars to education. We've helped local high schools over the years. In addition to education, Fisher Scientific's philanthropic interests include both local and national gifts to hospitals, science, technology, and the arts. Chairman and CEO L. Dennis Kozlowski hopes that Tyco's contribution to Exeter's science building will also help young scientists work towards their dreams, and that it will contribute nationally to growth in the field of science. We're giving to a local organization that contributes significantly to our national education in science.
