Supporting the mission.

A note from our Founder:

Together we can create something beautiful, something meaningful, and something that lasts beyond our lifetimes. We can shape a world where people look to the soil and envision possibility and a better future. A world where a child can peer into a few drops of seawater and find a possibility as a future microbial explorer, scientist, and engineer. A future where people can see the same possibility in the microbial cosmos that they currently see in the cosmos of space. We can create the NASA for microbes.

Together we can create meaningful change. We can work with communities and microbes to create a better tomorrow.

And we can start today.

Any donation you make supports the researchers, educators, and artists associated with these projects in creating more resources. We are a nonprofit and rely on supporters like you, in addition to grants.

We understand it’s not always possible to donate money. If you find the resources on this site, and the overall mission statement of our organization, are important, write us a note. This helps us with our annual impact reports.

Thank you,

Anne A. Madden, Ph.D., Founder, President, & Chief Scientist - The Microbe Institute
