FIGHTING CORONAVIRUS DONATE ABOUT US OUR ACHIEVEMENTS GET INVOLVED NEWS & MEDIA BLOG CONTACT Gift Opportunities at the Weizmann Institute Since its establishment in 1934 in Rehovot, Israel, the Weizmann Institute of Science has grown into one of the foremost centers of multidisciplinary research and graduate study in the world. The Institute’s basic science research has led to discoveries and practical applications with a major impact on the global scientific community, as well as the everyday quality of life for millions of people worldwide, in areas such as fighting cancer, improving health and medicine, advancing technology, enriching education, protecting our planet, and exploring the physical world. This commitment to basic science provides Weizmann researchers with the freedom to explore the unknown, in an environment where curiosity and collaboration flourish, with no commercial or academic constraints. The American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science works to raise awareness of, and funding for, the Institute in the U.S. It is a community of dedicated people who share a common mission: advancing the Institute’s goals by becoming partners in the search for answers to today’s most difficult challenges. The American philanthropic presence is felt throughout the Institute’s campus: buildings, laboratories, instruments, and education and research projects owe their existence to the generosity of loyal supporters. Donors also provide the financial assistance—including endowed professorial chairs and scholarships—that supports the scientists, teachers, and students who are the lifeblood of the Institute. Following are major areas of giving that are vital to the Weizmann Institute, to Israel, and to the future of humankind. Connecting the right philanthropist with the right project is important to the Institute, and this range of ongoing opportunities has something for everyone. Your involvement in our mission of “science for the benefit of humanity” is a meaningful expression of your commitment to make this a better world. We hope that you will be a longtime member of our Weizmann Institute family. Major Gift Opportunities RESEARCH INSTITUTES & CENTERS PROFESSORIAL CHAIR SUPPORTING NEW SCIENTISTS LABORATORIES & EQUIPMENT RESEARCH FUNDS SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN Research Institutes and Centers Research institutes and centers at the Weizmann Institute of Science provide an organizational framework for intellectual exchange and collaboration, driving some of the Institute’s most compelling basic research and supporting crucial advances. Cross- and multi-disciplinary research is a hallmark of the Weizmann Institute, and while the institutes and centers focus on a particular field of research, they also bring together scientists from a range of disciplines in order to pursue that research as completely and creatively as possible – for example, chemists and mathematicians, neuroscientists and computer scientists, biologists and physicists come together to make breakthroughs. By funding a research institute or center, a donor provides for new initiatives, cutting-edge instrumentation, shared equipment, stipends for staff scientists and young scientists, and other research necessities. Each of the previous are Named Perpetual Legacy Funds and/or Capital Giving Opportunities. They can be funded through a series of lifetime gifts, a testamentary gift, or a combination thereof. Absent a gift agreement, testamentary gifts receive recognition and designation based upon the funding needs and costs when the gift is ultimately received. All gifts are governed by the American Committee for the Weizmann Institute of Science gift policy, which is available—along with state disclosures—on the American Committee Web site, www.weizmann-usa.org, or upon request. Please seek your own legal and tax advice in connection with gift and planning matters.
