The National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine is an independent non-profit organization whose work relies on support from generous individuals, foundations, businesses, government, and other organizations. Philanthropy underpins our essential mission: to be the truthful voice for science, engineering, and medicine — the trusted source for independent, objective advice based on evidence. 

 

Your support fosters innovation, inspires action around shared priorities, and enriches the careers of outstanding science professionals. The truths that science provides are more important than ever to spark progress and ensure prosperity, security, and well-being for our nation and the world.
