Information for Foundations

Earth & Life Studies at The National Academies works with foundations in a number of ways. Foundations are encouraged to take advantage of our wealth of information on topics in health, the environment, and many other areas by exploring our more than 800 Reports.

Foundations can serve as sponsors for our studies, or provide support for communications activities that help disseminate vital information to the public. For information on how to sponsor a study, visit our Work With Us page.
