Monsanto Fund, the philanthropic arm of the Monsanto Company, has committed $3.7 million to MySci over three years.

Incorporated in 1964, Monsanto Fund's primary objective is to improve the lives of people by bridging the gap between their needs and their resources. The Monsanto Fund is focused on grant-making in four main areas: nutritional well-being through agriculture; science education, primarily on professional development for teachers; the environment, which includes conservation, protection of biodiversity, clean water and restoration of wildlife habitat; and improving the quality of life in communities where Monsanto employees live and work.

Future funding
We will be looking for other sources of funding to sustain and expand the program in 2008. We are interested in finding funders who might be interested in helping us expand the program into the physical and earth sciences as well as into higher grade levels. Please contact Ann McMahon (314-533-8681), if you are interested in more information about providing support to MySci.
