Mission Statement

Berkeley Lab Foundation supports the research and expertise needed to solve the scientific and technological challenges that define our time

About This Cause

Berkeley Lab is a proving ground for new ideas, often years in development. At Berkeley Lab, philanthropy helps catalyze early stage research into more sustainable funding and nurture future scientists. The lab attracts top young scientists who want to work in the very labs of Nobel Laureates, and they in turn are inspired to share their passion and knowledge with school-age students, encouraging a more diverse pipeline of future STEM professionals. A few of our exciting programs: K-12 PROGRAM With our world class scientists and facilities, Berkeley Lab is uniquely positioned to support science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education for Bay Area students. Our K-12 programs reach out, particularly to underserved communities, with mentoring, internships, and other STEM opportunities. Donor funds enable us to provide student stipends, tools, supplies, and transportation to ensure that lower income young people can fully participate. BERKELEY BRIDGE FELLOWSHIPS Awarded annually, Berkeley Bridge Graduate Summer Fellowships enable top UC Berkeley graduate students of diverse backgrounds and limited means to work at Berkeley Lab during the summer. Your gifts will be pooled with gifts from others—current employees, retirees, and friends of Berkeley Lab. Many fellows go on to careers in science. BERKELEY LAB POSTDOC ASSOCIATION (BLPA) A volunteer organization to enrich postdocs’ scientific careers through social and professional events and activities, BLPA provides new postdocs a welcoming start at Berkeley Lab and peer-to-peer support. It also serves an important scientific purpose by bringing together early career scientists from diverse disciplines to collaborate and share ideas informally. ENVIRONMENTAL RESILIENCE ACCELERATOR (Era) Climate change won’t wait. Beyond innovating in the lab, this interdisciplinary group catalyzes and cross-fertilizes research with real- world partners to enact practical, proven, scalable solutions. Donors support 5-year, demonstration projects offering potential impact for the future of water, healthy land, and sustainable cities. Learn more at www.berkeleylabfoundation.org
