When Institute founder Jonas Salk designed the original buildings, he did so with the intention that the campus would evolve and grow to meet the ever-changing needs of science.
That time is now.
Launched in 2021, the Institute’s scientific and philanthropic Campaign for the Future: Building a More Resilient World seeks to raise $500 million to attract the people and acquire the technology and space necessary to expand and accelerate critical research. At the center of this effort is the plan to construct the Joan and Irwin Jacobs Science and Technology Center. The new building will assist Salk in adding to its world-renowned faculty from multiple disciplines and expanding interactions among biologists, bioengineers, information theorists and many others as they collaborate on challenging problems. These advancements will position Salk to continue making life-changing discoveries well into the future, as it has done for the past 60 years.
Your gift, no matter the amount, will make a difference. Until September 30, Joan and Irwin Jacobs will contribute $1 for every $2 donated, up to $100 million. Are you up for the challenge? Learn more at salk.edu/resilient.
