Fundraising Activities

 

By July 2011, $250,000 has been raised for the MSRI. Fundraising events included an internationally known pianist concert and many individual contributions in honor of Dr. Greenstein’s work. This money was used to obtain the laboratory space, design the lab, order the casework (lab benches etc) and some basic pieces of research equipment.

Donations are now being solicited through letters to past and prospective donors. In addition Dr. Greenstein is busy writing and submitting grants to various segments of the scientific and business community.

Within the next three years the fundraising goal of the MSRI is $2 million dollars.   While this may seem a lofty goal, raising this amount will allow for the hiring of at least one additional PhD researcher, obtaining the necessary equipment to complete Dr. Greenstein’s research goals and to ensure the future stability of his research efforts.
