Greatest Needs
Support for the Carnegie Fund provides financial flexibility to meet immediate needs and seize opportunities that may arise. This could span from seed funding for novel scientific research directions to jumping on of-the-moment fieldwork opportunities.
Support Our Divisions
We are now entering a time of scientific discovery unparalleled in our history. This new age brings a convergence of trends in scientific practice and technology that allows interdisciplinary scientific research to thrive across all three of our divisions.
Biosphere Sciences & Engineering
Carnegie's newest scientific division, Biosphere Sciences & Engineering, is devoted to disrupting the traditional, siloed perspective on research in the life sciences and pursuing an integrated approach to solving humanity's greatest challenges.
Earth & Planets Laboratory
Drawing on more than a century of science, our multidisciplinary department discovers exoplanets, creates new materials, illuminates Earth's inner workings, and seeks to better understand the universe that is our home.
Observatories
From the revelation of the universe’s expansion to the discovery of dark energy, Carnegie Observatories researchers have transformed humankind’s understanding of the cosmos. The groundbreaking work continues today at our world-famous Las Campanas Observatory in Chile.
More Ways to Make an Impact
Carnegie Science offers a variety of ways to support groundbreaking research and scientific advancement beyond our core divisions.
