1,000 Friends of Science

A meaningful way to help sustain our life-saving research is to become one of our 1,000 Friends of Science. Members of this special giving society support Scripps Research with gifts of $1,000 or more a year.

In addition to knowing they fund cutting-edge research, members of the 1,000 Friends of Science receive the following:

  • An annual report outlining the impact of the member's gift.
  • An invitation for two to the annual 1,000 Friends of Science Dinner, held on campus in California.
  • Invitations and reserved seating for quarterly lectures and receptions called Lab Notes and Frontiers in Science, both in California.
  • Invitations to informal quarterly lunches with scientists on campus in California.
  • A subscription to Scripps Discovers, a quarterly newsletter for donors.

To learn more about opportunities and benefits for annual giving, as well as opportunities for special gifts restricted to a particular disease, research area, or fellowships and scholarships, please contact Wil Burfitt, Director, Office of Philanthropy, at (858) 784–2037 or burfitt@scripps.edu.
