The Center for Climatic Research (CCR) advances understanding of the climate system through interdisciplinary investigations of past, present, and future climates and the application of this knowledge for societally relevant purposes.
Gifts to CCR play a crucial role in enhancing the breadth and quality of our research and educational programs. We have identified two targeted giving opportunities to support the mission of CCR: one is directed toward advancing CCR’s legacy of climate science excellence and the other is directed toward supporting student research.

John Kutzbach Climate Research Fund – 112905640
This fund provides general, discretionary support to the Center for Climatic Research. Gifts may be used to enhance or expand the center’s teaching, research, and public service roles or to help the center pursue new opportunities and address strategic priorities, including the top-tier research of CCR scientists. Gifts may also be used to support faculty, staff, and student recruitment, retention, and morale.
