Make a Difference

If you could change the world through science, what would you do?

Stop a disease in its tracks? Protect the environment? Advance technology? Personalize medical treatments? Encourage children to explore their inner curiosity through science education or shoot for the stars and discover new galaxies?

At the Weizmann Institute of Science, our researchers are dedicated to these very goals. They share your vision of leveraging scientific discoveries charged by pure curiosity to impact the future of humanity.

Throughout Europe, generous individuals support the mission of the Weizmann Institute by prioritizing the value of philanthropy. Through this generosity, partnerships between scientists on campus and their supporters in Europe have developed and evolved into strong and long-lasting bonds and friendships.

For many, the connection to the Weizmann Institute is deep and personal, and a big part of their life that they cherish and would like to maintain and pass forward. On occasion, the European Committee of the Weizmann Institute of Science (ECWIS) team has been asked by friends and supporters how they can continue to advance the innovative research and scientists at the Weizmann Institute of Science by including the Weizmann Institute in their wills.

Deciding to leave a legacy is a deeply personal decision.

At ECWIS, we understand that each individual’s wishes and circumstances are unique. You may wish to support a specific area of scientific research or education, or you might prefer to allow the Institute to direct your gift to its most pressing priorities.  However you decide to contribute, it will make a significant difference to the Weizmann Institute.

By choosing to leave a legacy in your will to the Weizmann Institute of Science, you are making a profound decision to support groundbreaking research with a lasting impact. Your generosity will be felt for generations to come.

With the highest level of confidentiality, we are here to assist you in making your gift meaningful and effective and in full alignment with your values and aspirations

For more information about the opportunity of leaving a legacy, please contact us.

It is important to note that each country has its own legal system and there are personal considerations to make when creating a will. We, at ECWIS, are happy to assist you in this process, and advise you to seek local legal advice.
