Support Yerkes
Yerkes researchers are on the verge of many great discoveries. You can help support their cutting-edge research by giving to Yerkes. Your generosity will be the catalyst needed to get to the next point of discovery, understanding and application and will serve as a resource for the Center's varied research programs, day-to-day operations and equipment and facility needs.
Show your support by contacting the Yerkes Research Center’s Office of Development at (404) 712-9104 or margaret.lesesne@emory.edu. You also can make a gift or pledge to Yerkes by using Emory University's secure online giving form by clicking below.
Discovery Dinners
Yerkes is coordinating a series of "Dine to Discover" dinners to educate guests about the center's research and to raise funds to support research programs at critical junctures of discovery. We are seeking individuals, corporations and foundations to sponsor these dinners. Doing so will show your support for advancing science and improving heatlh, and will foster your connections with others committed to scientific progress.
Campaign Emory
Emory University has launched Campaign Emory, a $1.6 billion fund-raising endeavor designed to realize the challenging goals outlined in the University’s strategic plan “Where Courageous Inquiry Leads.” As part of Emory, the Yerkes Research Center represents $30 million of the overall goal.
