Support NELSON

Interested in supporting the Nelson Institute? There are many ways to contribute to the Nelson Institute — participating in our events, mentoring our students, providing connections to your personal networks, and making financial gifts. All of these are necessary and important to us, and we invite you to invest in our community in the way that makes the most sense to you.

Learn more about all of the great academic programs, research centers, and public programs we offer.

In addition to the philanthropy-funded scholarships, two of our research centers — the Center for Climatic Research (CCR) and the Center for Culture, History, and Environment (CHE) — also ran competition-based scholarships. Read about CCR’s Reid Bryson Scholarship and its winners in last month’s issue. This year, the following 12 CHE graduate student associates received travel and research awards, which are made possible by generous contributions from James and Renee Knight and the Bradshaw Knight Foundation.

Each semester, aligned with graduation, the Nelson Institute holds its semi-annual student fundraising campaign: the Red Envelope Campaign. One hundred percent of donations received are used to support fun, community-building experiences for Nelson students. In honor of our Spring 2023 graduates, please consider making a gift that will benefit future generations of Nelson students and honor the strong tradition of community-building on which the Nelson Institute prides itself.

Gifts in any amount are needed and appreciated!
