The world is changing at a rate and scale unprecedented in human history. How can we meet humanity’s needs in just and innovative ways while protecting the environment on which life depends? 

Your support of the Nelson Institute helps us meet these challenges head on, through imaginative research that transcends disciplinary boundaries; hands-on educational initiatives that bridge classrooms and communities; and public programs that foster environmental conversations among people from business, government, academia, and advocacy. 

How Do Your Contributions Help? 

We know that great faculty make for a great student experience. Our faculty don’t only engage in groundbreaking research, they ensure that all students — our future environmental leaders, scholars, and policymakers — have unparalleled access to their resources and ideas. When you support the Nelson Institute, you’re helping create a holistic experience for scholars at all levels, from first-year undergraduates to doctoral candidates. 

Gifts will be contributed to the Environmental Futures Fund – 132900188 at the University of Wisconsin Foundation.
