About Our Funds

The Weizmann Institute of Science has an extraordinary record of achievements and scientific discoveries. Your gift enables Institute scientists and graduate students to undertake the most imaginative and unique research—science that touches the lives of millions of people around the world. 

One of the most pressing needs at the Weizmann Institute of Science is for a regular, steady stream of income that will guarantee the continuation of vital research in the Institute’s many laboratories. The cost of maintaining a laboratory on campus ranges from $300,000 to amounts exceeding $1 million, depending upon equipment used and the specialized supplies needed. 

The Laboratory Monthly Partners Fund is a program for Weizmann Institute supporters who make a monthly gift, ensuring that our scientists may depend on reliable funding to maintain ongoing research in their labs. Such stable funding allows scientists to undertake ambitious, long-term research goals. You may charge your gift to your credit card. Your donation will appear on your monthly credit card statement.

The economy of Israel is suffering as a result of the country’s security situation. Government budget cuts compensate for increased defense costs have had a serious impact on allocations to educational institutions, including the Weizmann Institute. 

The President’s Contingency Fund was created in response to this budgetary shortfall to prevent setbacks to scientific progress. This fund helps maintain the quality of research for which the Weizmann Institute is recognized around the world. Your gift strengthens Israel and preserves excellence in scientific research at the Weizmann Institute.
