Your donation helps advance research

A new drug, a recyclable material, a more energy-efficient battery: it all starts with a discovery in a university lab. By supporting the Jean-Marie Lehn Foundation, you’re helping chemists in Strasbourg move faster—from idea to solution.

Behind them lies an entire research hub supported by the Foundation: 1,000 researchers and 100 laboratories working at the intersection of chemistry, biology, physics, and medicine.

You can let the Foundation allocate your donation where the need is greatest, or designate it for a cause that is important to you.

What your donation makes possible:

Supporting pioneering projects with high innovation potential

Supporting talented young researchers who are bold and eager to learn

Strengthen interdisciplinary scientific collaboration to enable new discoveries

You are an individual

Whether it's a one-time or recurring donation, your contribution gives researchers the resources they need to accelerate discoveries and tackle major environmental and health challenges.

Leave a Legacy: Through a bequest, a donation, or a life insurance policy, you can ensure your support continues over the long term, so that research can continue after you’re gone. You can leave all or part of your estate in your will, make a donation during your lifetime, or name the Foundation as the beneficiary of your life insurance policy. These arrangements are made with a notary. Our team will respond to your inquiries confidentially and with no obligation.
Honoring the memory of a loved one: A donation can also be a tribute. Your loved one believed in the power of science to heal, protect, and transform our world: supporting research in their name keeps that belief alive.
