Behind every discovery are researchers pursuing answers and donors who believe better health is possible. These are some of the people helping move Pennington Biomedical’s mission forward.
A Foundation Donor
When my family was affected by diabetes, I wanted to do something that would matter long after I was gone. An endowment at Pennington Biomedical felt like the right investment.

A Pennington Biomedical Researcher
The support we receive from private donors allows us to pursue ideas that federal agencies simply won’t fund. That freedom is what makes the biggest discoveries possible.
— Pennington Biomedical Faculty ResearcherResearchers at Pennington Biomedical Research Center rely on philanthropic support to explore the earliest, most exploratory stages of a research question, long before that work is ready for a federal grant application.
A Research Volunteer
