Why make a planned gift to The Jackson Laboratory?
Support vital research
The Jackson Laboratory is leading the search for tomorrow’s cures. Its research is vital to discovering the genetic basis for preventing, treating and curing some of the world’s most intractable diseases. Each new day brings progress toward understanding cancer, diabetes, obesity, Alzheimer’s disease, hypertension, glaucoma, cystic fibrosis, and many more genetic diseases and conditions.
Support cutting edge technology and resources
The Jackson Laboratory is renowned for decades of expertise with mice as effective and efficient models for understanding human diseases. It is a center for focused, collaborative research and is a National Cancer Institute-designated Cancer Center. Twenty Nobel Prizes, essential scientific techniques, and countless experiments have flowed from Jackson Laboratory scientists, their mice and advanced research services and technologies. By sharing resources with more than 16,000 investigators in 53 countries, the Laboratory empowers the research community to improve human health.
Support the education of tomorrow's scientists
The Jackson Laboratory also provides an inspiring place for young people to learn about science through the Summer Student Program, high school internships, predoctoral and postdoctoral opportunities, and educational outreach programs. Additionally, a robust courses and conferences program—including in-the-lab workshops—draws thousands of industry leaders, physicians, and scientists to the Laboratory’s campus every year.
