Your Support Matters
Recent cuts to federal funding are threatening Lamont and the wider enterprise of American science. Please give now to support our groundbreaking research.
- Director's Unrestricted Research Gift — these funds will be used immediately by Lamont's Director to help weather the storm of federal funding cuts, including finishing research projects whose funding was terminated while they were in progress.
- Lamont-Doherty Areas of Greatest Need — these funds support researchers and other needs at Lamont.
- Lamont-Doherty Education and Outreach Fund — these funds support community engagement activities, including hands-on field experiences for K-12 students, events centered on local research and exploration at our Hudson River Field Station, and our annual Open House.
Every dollar donated to Lamont stays at Lamont, supporting Lamont science and scientists. We deeply appreciate your generosity, and offer a number of ways to give.
