Support
More than any other single factor, it is Caltech people—faculty, undergraduate and graduate students, postdoctoral scholars, friends, and supporters—who make Caltech the singular institution it is. Each contributes to Caltech’s electric environment of curiosity and discovery.
Why do Caltech faculty and students so often make discoveries and inventions that change the world? It's not just because they have access to cutting-edge labs and instruments, but because they have the flexibility to exercise their vision. That’s why endowed support for them—scholarships, fellowships, professorships, discovery funds, and so forth—are every bit as important as the funds dedicated to concrete and steel.
Caltech has been fortunate throughout its history to benefit from the generosity of alumni, friends, corporations, and foundations. Such support has made possible the many achievements of the Institute in furtherance of its mission to nurture the best of research and teaching in science and technology. There are many ways to give to Caltech — all are appreciated. The Office of Development exists to serve past, current, and future donors to Caltech, and will be pleased to assist you in any way possible.
