What We Do
Marc Kastner, former president of the Science Philanthropy Alliance, describes the Alliance’s work
We Advise
The Alliance provides personalized advisory services that match the goals, visions, and desires of new, emerging and current philanthropists.
We Inform
The Alliance works in tandem with philanthropists, scientists, and research institutions to identify best practices in discovery science funding. We provide regular updates to philanthropists and their foundation staffs about the best approaches for successful science philanthropy.
We Connect
The Alliance connects philanthropists and their foundation staffs with Alliance members, as well as a network of highly accomplished and distinguished scientists and researchers in life sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics who are able to provide unmatched insight on how to create the greatest scientific impact.
We Convene
To advise and mentor individuals and foundations regarding science philanthropy, the Alliance convenes workshops, scientific immersions, and intimate topic-specific meetings on both science and philanthropy. At these events, globally recognized scientists and philanthropic thought leaders share knowledge, models, and mechanisms for effective science funding.
