Since 2018, the Innovation Research Program (IRP) has provided critical seed-funding for early-stage research at DRI. To date, this program has supported more than 20 research teams and several successful research programs have grown out of IRP-supported preliminary research. However, public funds to support “start-up” environmental research of this type are extremely limited.
This giving season, please join us in supporting bright minds and their best ideas by donating to the IRP Endowment, which was established earlier this year to ensure that innovative science continues for generations to come. Your gift will bring us one step closer to our goal of raising $5 million to fully fund this endowment.
IRP Endowment funds go directly to the scientists themselves as they carry on DRI’s legacy of advancing science that matters now. With a gift to the IRP Endowment, you will be part of this legacy by ensuring that groundbreaking environmental research will continue for generations to come.
And… thanks to generous matches from the Tom and Mary Gallagher Foundation and the Bretzlaff Foundation, your gift to the IRP Endowment will have DOUBLE the impact.
Please consider helping fund critical research that fuels a better future.
